Pesarattu
(Redirected from Mung bean dosa)
Pesarattu is a type of dosa made from mung bean. It is a popular breakfast dish in the Indian states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. The name "Pesarattu" is derived from the Telugu words "pesara" (mung bean) and "attu" (dosa).
Etymology[edit | edit source]
The term "Pesarattu" is a combination of two Telugu words: "pesara" meaning mung bean and "attu" meaning dosa. Thus, the term literally translates to "mung bean dosa".
Ingredients and Preparation[edit | edit source]
Pesarattu is made from a batter of soaked whole mung beans, rice, and various spices. The mung beans and rice are soaked overnight, then ground into a smooth batter. The batter is then spread on a hot griddle to form a thin, crispy pancake. It is typically served with a side of chutney or sambar.
Variations[edit | edit source]
There are several variations of Pesarattu, including "Upma Pesarattu" and "Pesarattu with Allam Pachadi". In Upma Pesarattu, a layer of upma is spread on the dosa before it is rolled up. Pesarattu with Allam Pachadi is served with a type of ginger chutney.
Nutritional Value[edit | edit source]
Pesarattu is a healthy and nutritious dish. Mung beans are a good source of protein and dietary fiber, while rice provides carbohydrates. The spices used in the preparation also have various health benefits.
