Moong dal dosa with Upma (Pesarattu Upma)


Many of my North Indian friends didn’t know about these dosas until they tasted at our place and in an instant they have become a huge hit around here

Ingredients:
Moong dal: 2 cups
Chillies : 3 to 4
Jeera: tsp
Ginger: an inch

Soak moong dal overnight and grind it the next day with chillies, jeera and ginger.
My sis suggested to use sprouts which are quite healthy so this time, I soaked overnight and drainded the water out and left for couple of hrs and then grind it.

Upma:

Ingredients:

Semolina: 2 cups
Onion: 1 cut into small pieces
Chillies: 2
Curry leaves: 2 sprigs
Urid dal, chana dal, mustard seeds: 1 tsp

Fry urid dal, chana dal and mustard seeds in oil until mustard seeds start to splutter, add curryleaves, onion and chillies and fry for some time.
Add salt and 2 cups of water.
As soon as the water starts boiling, add semolina and keep on missing it in the water, if u don’t mix then u get lumps so make sure to mix through out.
Cook for few min and that’s it really, u’r tasty upma is ready.

Now take a tawa and when it is hot add a spoonful of batter and spread it around and put some upma in the middle and close from either sides when its brown.

Serve hot with coconut chutney, ginger and sambhar.
This was a hit this weekend when friends were around. Found time to actually take couple of pics before serving them.
