Andhra Pesarattu | Green Gram Dosa | Andhra Speical Recipes

November 28, 2012 by Siri

Pesarattu is a famous Andhra breakfast item that is consumed all over the state.This dosa is made with green gram and rice ,which makes a perfect combo with upma..The hit duo is called Upma Pesarattu..These crepes are so crisp and gives a total different taste.Pesarattu will be garnished with lots of chopped onions,ginger and chilli flakes,fresh coriander which makes it even more tastier..
Amma used to make this whenever I visit home for holidays..This is such a special breakfast for me..Andhra Pesarattu is best consumed with Ginger Pickle(aka Andhra Allam Pachadi) and also peanut chutney. I totally love these crsipy green gram dosas t any time be it for breakfast or dinner.
Usually it is prepared with only green gram(in telugu it is called ‘pesalu’) but we add a fistful of rice tinorder to give the dosas a crispy nature.

Ingredients :

  • Green gram – 1 Cup
  • Rice  – 1/4 cup
  • Green chilli chopped – 2
  • Ginger chopped – 1/2 inch piece
  • Cumin seeds – 1 2 tbsp
  • Oil – for making dosas
  • Salt to taste

For garnishing dosa:

  • Onion finely chopped – 1
  • Green chilli chopped – 2
  • Coriander chopped – as much as possible

Recipe for Andhra Pesarattu:
1.Take both rice and green gram into a large bowl and wash it thoroughly under cold water.

2. Soak them over night or for at least 8 hours.Grind them along with green chilli,ginger and salt by adding required water.Don’t add too much water.See the picture below.Add cumin seeds as well.

3. Chop up all your veggies.Take a ladle full of batter and spread on dosa pan evenly.

4.Sprinkle onions,chillies and coriander leaves.Drizzle some oil around the dosa and on the onions.

 5.Fold it to left side once and then to right.Serve hot with your favourite chutney or dips

I served this with peanut chutney and ginger pickle..Ginger pickle is the best with pesarattu..

TIP 1: Do not flip the dosas,instead make as much thin as possible and just fold it once done,

TIP 2: Having these crispy green gram dosas without ginger pickle is waste I should say πŸ™‚

TIP 3: This dosa variety demands more oil than the normal dosas,so to extract best taste forget about calories else use a non-stick pan and compromise on taste:)


Also make some upma and place in between the dosas..Pesarattu Upma is a highlight combination,but this time I could not do upma..but you go ahead and enjoy the super yummy taste of Upma Pesarattu..
