Pesarattu Upma
(Whole Green Mung Bean Dosa with Cream of Rice)
The Pesarattu/Moong Dal Dosa here, based on the recent recipe on YouTube by Easy Cooking with Ekta, is a South Indian "crepe" made of soaked and ground-up whole green mung beans. It is very hearty, and so, it could be good for someone who likes meat, but has to cut back. Here, it is filled with Upma, made from Cream of Rice (but usually made with sooji/rava/like Cream of Wheat), as well as tomatoes, yogurt, and spices. I understand, from what I've seen online recently, that this combination of Pesarattu and Upma is traditional. I think the two together, provide a successful balance, and am glad I tried the combination!
- The Upma recipe is from Julie Sahni's Classic Indian Vegetarian and Grain Cooking.
