1cupgreen grammung beans, soaked overnight
1medium-sized onionfinely chopped
2-3green chilies
1-inchpiece of ginger
1teaspooncumin seeds
A handful of fresh coriander leaveschopped
Salt to taste

Instructions
Soak the green gram overnight in enough water.
The next morning, drain the water and grind the soaked green gram along with green chilies and ginger to a smooth batter. Add a little water if needed to achieve a pourable consistency.
Transfer the batter to a mixing bowl. Add finely chopped onions, cumin seeds, and fresh coriander leaves. Mix well.
Adjust the consistency of the batter by adding a little water if necessary. The batter should be thick yet pourable. Add salt to taste.
Heat a non-stick skillet or dosa tawa over medium heat. Once hot, lightly grease the surface with a few drops of oil.
Pour a ladleful of batter onto the skillet and spread it in a circular motion to form a thin dosa.
Drizzle a few drops of oil around the edges. Cook until the edges start to lift and the bottom is golden brown. Flip the dosa and cook the other side for a minute.
Serve the Pesarattu hot with coconut chutney, ginger chutney, or a dollop of upma (for a traditional touch). This high protein dosa is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
