How To Prepare Low-calorie Green Gram Dosa At Home
Green gram dosa is a traditional low-calorie South Indian dish, also known as pesarattu, which is a great dish to have for all the weight-watchers. It hails from the state of Andhra Pradesh and it can be served as a breakfast dish or as an evening snack.
Green gram dosa is made with whole green moong beans, which are first soaked and then ground. It is then made into round-shaped dosas, usually served with chutney or sagu. Conventionally, it is also served with upma sometimes.
Green gram dosa with the help of other elements attains a unique mint green colour, which tastes as delicious as it looks. It is filled with a special flavour of coriander leaves, onions and rice flour.
A distinctive traditional method of this dosa is to remove the pan from the stove, pouring the batter and then letting it cook. This ensures that the dosa cooks well without sticking to the pan.
Green gram dosa is simple and quick to make at home and it does not take too much of your effort. So, learn how to make the green gram dosa by watching the video recipe. Also, read and follow the detailed step-by-step procedure containing images.
