Pesarattu

Yummy. Pesarattu has always been one of my favourite breakfast foods. Though deemed unhealthy and fattening by many, if made on a non stick pan with less oil/ghee this spicy pan cake is filling and healthy too.

Anyone from andhra knows that pesarattu -upma is the ultimate combination. Add a little kobbari pachadi and allam chutney.. I bet your mouth's watering?

Ingredients:

For attu:

Whole Green gram (pesalu) 3/4th cup
Rice 1/4th cup
salt a pinch
Onion 1 medium (sliced)
ginger grated
green chillies 5-6 thinly sliced
ghee/oil 1 tbsp


Soak the green gram and rice in water overnight. Grind them into a fine paste in the morning. Add the salt. The batter is ready.

Heat a non stick pan and spread the batter on the pan . Since the batter is thicker than dosa batter try not to make the attu very thick. Add a few drops of ghee/oil to the pan.

In a bowl, mix the remaining ingredients. Sprinkle these on the attu. Once the attu is cooked, (you can see little holes on it and it comes clean off the pan) fold it in half and take it out.

Serve hot.
