Andhra Pesaruttu Dosa is a famous breakfast special from the state of Andhra Pradesh. It is healthy, filling and a quick to do dosa that does not require fermenting of dosa batter. I make this quite often and its always a big welcome recipe with my family. I love to spice it up with onions and green chilli and the perfect combo would be coconut chutney. Usually in tiffen centres in Andra I have heard they they serve it with rawa upma as a stuffing inside but I have personally never tried it. You can mix and match ingredients to suit your tastebuds.
Pesaruttu Dosa is green in colour and made using green moong dal/ pachapayaru, raw rice, onions and green chilli. Its very filling and soft in texture, usually a little thick compared to paper dosas or the usual dosa varieties. A loose batter will result in a crisp outer and a soft and spongy inside. Don't mind to drizzle with some oil while making this dosa for added taste.

Method

Serve hot with your favourite chutney
Cooks Wisdom
- It is important for the dal and rice to soak for atleast an hour in warm water. Do not be in a hurry else it would result in a course batter than a smooth one
- If the dosa batter is thin you will get crisp outer and soft inner dosas
- I have spiced it according to my taste you can reduce the amount of chilli or ginger/garlic according to your preference.
- Also once you grind the batter let it sit in counter top for atleast an hour for the flavors to mingle, I have noticed that if I make dosas in a hurry they do not brown that well and also the dosas are hard to flip and stick to the skillet.
- You can save the remaining batter in the refrigerator to be used the next day
- This dosa takes a while to cook so don't be in a hurry, give it some time and make sure the tawa is in medium- low flame so that the dosa does not get burnt fast
