Minty Pesarattu with Ginger Chutney

I love pesarattu ... crispy and thin moong daal dosas. Pesarattu is very light on the stomach and is an ideal breakfast recipe. I twisted this traditional Andhra recipe by adding mint leaves. Serve this with ginger and jaggery chutney for a tongue tickling experience.




For the Pesarattu-

Ingredients:

Whole green moong daal - 1 cup
Mint leaves - 1/4 cup (finely chopped)
Ginger - 1 inch piece
Green chillies - 3 to 4 (can add even more but 3 was enough for us)
Salt - to taste
Water to grind.
Oil - to make dosa

Procedure:

  • Wash and soak the daal for at least 4-5 hrs. After that drain and rinse with water and keep aside.
  • Grind daal , mint leaves, ginger and chillies together by adding water little by little. Don't make the batter very thin.
  • Mix in salt and make thin and crisp dosas using little oil.




For the ginger and jaggery chutney -

Ingredients:

Ginger - 2 tbsp ( finely chopped)
Dry red chillies- 3 nos.
Urad daal - 1 tbsp
Jaggery- 1 tbsp (powdered)
Tamarind- little
Oil - 2 tsp
Salt - to taste

Procedure:

  • Heat oil and add urad daal, once it turns light golden add the chillies and saute for a minute.
  • Then add in chopped ginger pieces and fry for 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • After this mixture cools, grind in the mixie along with jaggery, tamarind and salt.




Serve this chutney with crispy pesarattu's.
