Indian Vegan crepes -‘Dosa‘ or ‘Uttapam’ is a favorite. Hit with many of us. However, not many people know about its Andhra cousin-  Pesarattu- mung dal dosa. This is a super light green gram dosa. Soak mung dal and grind it. Immediately make your breakfast. It does not need fermentation. Traditionally, we serve this crepe with some onions and ginger chutney. You can also pair it with coconut chutney if  you like.I love making this as you have lentils but not in a curry way. Great recipe for tiffin too with some tomato pachdi.

Those who have travelled along Andhra and Telangana region are familiar with M.L.A Pesarattu. You will find this in many Andhra restaurants. This is pesarattu upma. Green gram dosa is served in M.L.A quarters in Hyderabad along with some upma and ginger chutney/tomato pachadi. This name stuck and it continues.

Benefits of pesarattu

This crepe is for all those food lovers who want to increase the protein content. Unlike western crepes and pancakes which have eggs and flour, this is gluten-free.It is very light and easy to digest.

Tips to make a hearty breakfast

Make it on cast iron tava for best results. It comes out real clean and crisp.

After all, it is nerve-racking at times. You have to make something new all the time and healthy too.
