It is very healthy and protein packed breakfast. This dosa does not need fermentation, can be made immediately after grinding.

Health benefits: It is highly rich in  fiber and protein. One cup of cooked green gram contains about 15 g of fiber and 14 g of protein. It has both insoluble and water soluble fiber.

Alternately you can cook the pesarattu like regular dosa on both sides also. Additionally you can sprinkle some onions on top of pesarattu for added taste and flavour.

Topping with onions is totally optional, if you don’t have time you can very well skip that.

Adding rice is also optional, I usually add it so that the pesarattu is crispy.
