Pesarattu with Uppma and Ginger Chutney

            Pesarattu is an famous dish in Andra Pradesh. It is a type of dosa made form whole green gram                                               This is a traditional dish in Andra Pradesh.



Once my family and I went to Trupati and we found this pesarattu in almost all the restaurants.. From that time Pesarattu became my families favorite dish. They tasted heavenly....

Pesarattu is a green gram dosa mixed with rice flour. Rice flour is added for extra crispness. Than I top it with sauteed onions and green chili for extra flavor. Traditionally it is served with uppma and ginger chutney. It is the best combo dish in Andra.

So Pesarattu

with uppma and ginger chutney is my contribution to Nupar's A to Z of Indian Vegetables event for "P".

Whole green gram - 1 cup
Ginger – ¼ inch piece
Green chilies - 2

Procedure :


1. Wash whole green gram 2 or 3 times, and soak it in water for 2 hours.

2. After 2 hours, drain the whole green gram and grind it with ginger and green chilies to a smooth batter.

3. To it, mix in the rice flour, without forming lumps. Add salt to taste.

4. Heat oil and fry the cumin seeds till they splutter, then saute the finely chopped onions and green chilies for 2-3 minutes. Set aside.

5. Heat a dosa pan. When sufficiently hot, pour the batter and spread it from the centre. Add a little oil around. On the dosa, sprinkle a little of the topping mixture, and slightly press with the flat ladle.

6. Cover the dosa pan with a lid, and fry till the dosa becomes crisp on the bottom and cooked on the other top.(There is no need to turn over)

Procedure :


1. Dry roast the rava for 5 mins

2. In a sauce pot, add oil and when it hot add the mustered and let it splutter.

3. Now add all the other ingredients in the seasoning.

4. When the dals turn golden brown add the chopped onions and green chilies and saute it for 5 mins.

5. Now add water and salt to it and allow it to boil.

6. When the water boils nicely add the roasted rava and cook until it is done.

Red chilies - 3-4 no.s

  17. Looks great Sukanya. Just now saw this dish in another blog. In that, upma was stuffed in the dosa. I have never tasted this before,that's why I have one doubt. Is it traditional to have upma and pesarattu together? Ginger chutney looks great. will try it soon.
