2. Rinse well a few times until the water runs clear.

3. Pour fresh water and soak in enough water for about 4 to 6 hours. If exploitation rice soak it along with dal. I don't use Rice most of the times.

4. Once the green gram is soaked, rinse them well.

Tips

Souse: To make thin, curt and flavorous pesarattu avoid complete soaking the golden gram. Over soaked Vigna radiata makes soft dosas. The little dripping fourth dimension, the crispier and thin they work out. An ideal time for soaking is 4 to 6 hours.

With the dal equitable soaked for 4 hours, you arse level get a cone attribute pesarattu. I have shared a picture at the end of this post.

Body of the batter is the key to make awesome pesarattu. It has to be thick yet of spreading consistency.

If you are unable to spread the batter on the tawa it means the batter is very thick. Tote up back to the liquidizer with little water and go once more. Adding pee direct to the batter nearly times doesn't yield me good ones.

Rice or rice flour: Traditionally rice or rice flour was not used to piddle pesarattu. Short circuit soak time and using the NON-GMO fleeceable Gram was the secret to fashioning delicious and crisp pesarattu. Since restaurants habituate the intercrossed lentils, they add a bitty amount of raw Elmer Leopold Rice to get that crispen texture.

Topping: My ma always topped our pesarattus with golden fried onions. I have shared the same unique method in the recipe card.

In restaurant and most households, they sprinkle the onions directly after spreading the batsman. Growing up we ne'er liked onions that way, so my mom would always fry them and top.
