ShowMeTheCurry Notes: Thanks Vaishali, for this awesome and super healthy snack. We loved it. This dish is a close cousin to Adai, so you can check the video on that to see how the Dosa/Dosai is made. Another tip – put the chopped onions, it ads a wonderful crunch to the Pesarettu.
Hi,
I was wondering if we could the yellow moong dal for the same?
Thanks in advance

hi
Pesarettu vth Chutney and Sooji Upma is a Wonderful Combination.
This dish is known as UpmaPesarettu. A famous Dish in AndhraPradesh.
Try this Guys. I’m sure u love it.
Right, that is the beauty about Pesarettu and Adai. It can be made right away and no major pre-planning needed.
I just want to reconfirm that i don’t have to keep it to ferment like we do for dosa.After grinding i can make the pesarattu right away ,isn’t it?
