P- Pesarattu - Green Moong Dal Dosa

Pesarattu is made out of Pesalu/green moong dal. There are some people who like to use yellow moong dal/Pesarapappu to make these dosas.

As a kid mom always made these dosas with yellow moong dal and I never liked them. Once I got married and came to US, my in laws came to visit us years ago and FIL is a diabetic. I thought of trying the green moong dal dosas and everyone loved them. 

I serve it along with Upma and Allam Pachhadi and absolutely love the combination.
