Green moong pancakes/Pesaratu

I heard about these dosas a few weeks back from my close friend.I was eager to try and this week for blog hop wednesday, i have been partnered with Priya from Bon Appetit.I had a varied choice on her blog.I decided to make the pesarattu as i had already heard accolades from my friend.

Pesarattu is associated to the Telugu cuisine.Its a dosa/crepe like bread made primarily of rice and green moong beans.

This is how i made it:

Raw rice 1 cup
Green moong beans 3/4 cup
Urad dal/Black lentils a handful (optional..i didn't add it)
Green chillies 1 or 2 as per your spice levels.
Ginger 1" piece
Salt to taste
Onions chopped finely 1 cup to sprinkle

• Soak the rice and dals for a few hours (5-6 hrs) or over night.Drain excess water and grind to a thick batter.
• Mix the salt and let the batter sit for a while
• Heat the pan/tawa to make the pesarattu/dosa.
• Pour laddle fulls of batter, sprinkle chopped onions on top and drizzle the ends with sesame oil or vegetable oil.

• Cook on both sides until light brown in color.
• Serve with onion chutney like i did or any spicy tangy chutney.

• Tasty healthy pesarattus are ready for breakfast!

Green moong pancakes/Pesaratu

Moong Bread Rolls

I was really hungry one afternoon and as i had stashed some cooked moong beans in the refrigerator...it came to my untimely help!The end product was one yummy dish!

I also made wraps out of them and that was even tastier.Me and DH finished off dinner with just the chapatis and these rolls.

This is how i made it...

Green moong beans 1 cup cooked and cooled (drain any excess water)
Bread slices 3
Rice flour 2 tablespoons(or lesser)
Salt to taste
Chaat masala to taste (optional)
Chilli powder 1 tsp ( more or less)
Oil to deep fry

For the wraps:
Chapatis 2
Tomato sauce to spread
Mayonnaise to spread
Chopped vegetables onions, tomatoes,cucumbers as required

• Add the cooked moong beans to a bowl.Mash it well with hands or the back of a spoon.
• Soak the bread slices in some water and squeeze out the extra water.Add the bread crumbles into the moong beans.
• Add the remaining ingredients and mix well into a dry mixture.
• Heat oil in a wok to fry, make rolls of the mixture and drop into the oil.Fry until crunchy brown.
• Serve as it is with tomato sauce or make wraps like i did.

• To make the wraps: spread the tomato sauce,mayonnaise and arrange the moong rolls and vegetables, wrap it up and serve immediately.
• Delicious rolls ready to served :) 

Tips:

- My mix was really runny so i had to add more rice flour which turned out ok too.

- I didn;t have a very dry mix still it didn;t break while frying.But i would suggest to drain off the extra water from the moong beans.
