1 tbsp roughly chopped green chillies

2 tsp oil for greasing
8 tbsp oil for cooking

Method

For pesarattu

To make pesarattu, in a big bowl, soak whole moong and rice in enough hot water for 4 hours.
Drain well and transfer to the mixer.
Add ginger, green chillies and salt and approx. 1¼ cups water, blend it to a smooth paste.
Transfer the dosa batter in a big bowl.
Heat a non-stick tava (griddle), grease it with ¼ tsp oil , sprinkle a little water on the tava (griddle) and wipe it off gently using a muslin cloth.
Pour a ladleful of the batter on the tava (griddle) and spread it evenly in a circular motion to make 175 mm. (7”) diameter circle.
Smear 1 tbsp oil around the edges and cook on a medium flame, till the pesarattu turns golden brown in colour.
When the lower side of the pesarattu is lightly browned, turn it over and cook on a medium flame on the other side using a little oil till it turns golden brown in colour.
Fold over to make a semi-circle or a roll.
Repeat steps 5 to 8 to make 7 more pesarattus.
Serve the pesarattu immediately with sambhar and coconut chutney.
