ABOUT Pesarattu RECIPE

Pesarattu is dosa made from whole mung. This is one of the best foods that can be had while on diet. It helps a lot in weight reduction and is filling too at the same time. It is best paired with allam chutney i.e. a chuntey made with ginger and tamarind. Goes well with crushed jaggery too.
