PESARUT / SPROUTED MOONG DAL DOSA

Hi Everyone,

This dosa is an Andhra Dish but  we all love it, also it is healthy .

I have already posted you the Moong dal sprouts recipe ,I used the same dal to prepare this moong dal dosa ,They call it as Pesarut.

Normally they make it with unsprouted moong dal . The green moong dal will be soaked in water for 6 to 7 hours and then grounded to form  batter and  they will make it into dosa immediately as it requires no fermentation.

But I prepare this entirely in different way I use sprouted dal and also I will ferment the batter before making it into dosa as I don’t like raw smell of batter in dosa and also we need crispy  dosas.

PREPARATION:

1) As the moongdal is already soaked and sprouted you need not soak it again.

2) Wash rice , urad dal , toor dal well and soak it in enough water for 4 hours.

3) After 4 to 5 hours grind soaked rice , toor dal , urad dal , sprouted moong dal , onions , green chillies , dry red chilles . ginger ,curry leaves , cumin and salt to fine batter.

4) That’s all!!!! You can use the batter for making dosa immediately but what I do is ,I will leave the batter 3 hours for fermentation (moong dal will ferment very quickly so 3 hours is enough).

5) After 3 hours place the iron or non stick skillet in flame and take a ladle full of dosa batter and pour it in the centre of the skillet and spread it in circles.

6) Sprinkle some oil on the edges and spread some chopped onions on the top and let it boil for 3 mins in medium heat.

7) When your dosas change to golden brown flip it over and leave for 2 more mins in medium flame.

8) Now dosas are ready to remove and taste , move the dosa to your plate and enjoy with favourite chutney of your choice.

NOTES :

1)      Fermentation is your choice but don’t ferment more than 3 hours .

2)      Always boil this dosa either in medium flame or low flame , if you boil in high flame dosas will burn quickly also will stick to skillet.
