Notes

  1. This pesarattu dosa can also be made with spilt green gram or sprouted moong dal.
  2. If using yellow moong, then you can soak the lentils for 1 to 3 hours.
  3. Instead of soaking rice along with green gram, you can also use rice flour to the batter before making dosa.
  4. The moong dal dosa can be stuffed with onion-chilli-cilantro mixture or with rava upma.
