How To Prepare Pesarattu Dosa:

• Soak green gram and rice together for 5 hours or overnight if possible. Grind to a smooth paste along with ginger, green chillies, salt and a little water.  The batter should be coarse and a bit thicker than the regular dosa batter.
• Heat a tawa and pour a ladle of batter in the center and spread it out into a dosa.  Drizzle 1 tsp of oil around and on the dosa.
• When the first side is cooked, flip over to the other side and cook until done.
• Remove from tawa and serve hot with allam pachadi/ginger chutney or coconut chutney or onion chutney.

Notes:

• The batter should be coarse and not too smooth.  This will give good texture to the dosa.
• Can use finely-diced onions as topping.
• You can refrigerate the batter for upto 2 days.
