Follow The Directions
01
StepSoak the lentils and rice: Place the lentils and rice into a large container and cover with several inches of cool water; let stand 4 hours to overnight. (Soaking time: 4-12 hours)
02
StepBlend the batter: Blend the lentils, rice, green chile peppers, and ginger together into a smooth paste using a blender or food processor. Stir in the cumin seeds and salt. (Preparation time: 15 minutes)
03
StepCook the pesarattu: Prepare a flat griddle (tawa) or large, flat-bottomed skillet and place over medium-low heat. Ladle the lentil batter onto the middle of the heated surface and spread into a thin circle using the back of the ladle. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of onions and press the onions onto the pesarattu using your ladle or spatula. Cook for a few minutes and flip over to the other side. Cook a few more minutes, until golden brown and crisp. (Cooking time per dosa: 5-7 minutes)
04
StepServe immediately: Transfer to a plate and serve immediately. Dosas are best eaten hot and crispy right off the tawa.
