Pesarattu(Moong dal dosa)

Moong dal dosa  or pesarattu dosa is a popular breakfast or tiffin recipe in Andhra pradesh.The dosa can be made with whole moong dal beans and split moon dal beans.Both tastes great.I make the pesarattu dosa in both versions.Pesarattu generally served with upma or cocconut chutney.This is  a very easy tiffin recipe as the batter need not to be fermented.

Moong dal can be a great nutritious addition to a balanced diet.It is a healthy meal that provides high levels of protein and fiber while containing relatively few calories and little fat.In addition, it is an excellent source of wide range of vitamins and minerals.This week Marathon I  selected' Easy tiffins' theme.As this will be easy as i cook lot of varieties to  my kids.This is one their favorite .We can serve this as evening tiffins too.I'm posting this recipe in Blogging Marathon#42.Here goes my easy recipe.
