Pesarattu | பேசரட்டு

Pesarattu is an Andhra specialty recipe which is is loaded with low-fat protein and fiber. This tasty and nutritious dosa is made with whole-green gram. This dosa does not need fermenting like the regualr dosas. You can immediately use the batter as soon as it is ground. 

Whole green gram is rich in calcium, phosphorous, magnesium, potassium, folate and other B Vitamins. They also contain appreciable amounts of Vitamin C. Also helps in weight control, lowers blood pressure, high fiber and it is  the popular healthy sprout.
