MLA Pesarattu or Upma Pesarattu


This is like adai stuffed with upma...
It goes well with ginger chutney.
The original recipe doesnt use any dal other than moong , but i add these
for taste.

Ingredients:

Whole moong dal - 1 cup
Split gram dal - a handful
Cooked Chickpeas - a handful
Split Dalia - a handful
Green Chilly - 5
Grated ginger - 1 tsp
Egg - 1 beaten

Soak dals , chickpeas and dalia for 8 hours and grind with salt , green chilly
and ginger to a slightly coarse paste adding as little water as possible.
Add egg and mix well.

Garnish:

Onion - 1 small finely chopped
Corriander leaves - a handful chopped
Curry Leaves - a spring chopped
Grated ginger - 1 tsp
Jeera - 1 tsp

Heat a pan , smear oil , add pesarattu batter and cook like a dosa.
When one side is half done , garnish with the above mixture and flip.
When done , flip again , keep the upma in the centre and fold like a masala dosa.
Serve with ginger chutney or with nothing like how i did :-) :-)
