Pesarattu (green moong and chana dal dosa)

A healthy breakfast with whole moon dal, chana dal and boiled rice. Something which really require less effort and a quick breakfast for children. But it need little preparation the previous day. Like soaking grinding and let it ferment. But unlike idly/dosa batter this batter need less time to ferment.

Pesarattu is a kind of dosa originated from Andhra. I make it by adding few more extra ingredients.
