Instructions
 

Prepare the Batter

  • Wash and soak the green moong dal and brown rice together overnight. Drain the water completely.
  • Combine the soaked dal, rice, spinach, mint, coriander, green chilies, ginger, and salt in a blender.
  • Grind into a smooth batter, adding water as needed to reach a dosa-like consistency.

Cook the Pesarattu

  • Heat a non-stick or lightly oiled tawa (griddle) over medium heat.
  • Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot tawa, spreading it thinly into a circle.
  • Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. If using a non-stick pan, oil may not be necessary.
  • Remove from the tawa and serve immediately.
  • Repeat the process with the remaining batter.

Serve

  • Serve the Hariyali Pesarattu hot with your favorite chutney.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Hariyali Pesarattu

  • For a smoother batter, strain the batter through a fine-mesh sieve after blending.
  • Adjust the amount of green chilies to your spice preference. If you prefer less heat, use fewer chilies or remove the seeds.
  • Experiment with adding other vegetables to the batter, such as finely chopped onions or carrots, for added flavor and texture.
  • If your batter is too thick, add a little more water; if it's too thin, add a tablespoon of rice flour.
