Moong Daal Pesarettu

 

This is the second version of pesarettu, I had learned from my friend, Priya. I have already blogged about the first version with Moong sprouts.

Today's recipe contains moong daal. I sometimes also add spinach leaves to sneak in more nutrients. Serve with any chutney of your choice. Sometimes, I serve this protein packed dosa as the flatbread to go with usual subzi.

Note -
1. Use green moong daal - the one with peels - for this recipe.

3. Use nonstick pan or well seasoned cast iron pan for making this dosa.
