- Repeat the same procedure after flipping the slices.
- For filling in this sandwich I have added sweet corn cooked to which pepper powder has been added.
- Any sauce or spread can be applied to the two inner sides of the slices, the filling kept inside and served.
- I have used mult-grain bread
How to make pesarattu
Take green gram and raw rice in the ratio 2:1 and soak the mixture in water for 6 to 8 hours
Drain water, wash well, twice or thrice and add green chillies ( more than three will make it hot )
and ginger and grind in a mixer to get the paste as shown in the photo. Add finely chopped onions
for additional flavour and taste. Onion may also be sprinkled while making the pesarattu. You can substitute moong dhall ( paasi paruppu ) for green gram. Make pesarattu as you make a regular dosa and serve with coconut chutney.
