Pasarattu




This is a very healthy recipe especially for diabetic patients, as it has lots of protein, fiber & very less of carbohydrates. This is made with green whole moong dal, say for 1 cup of dal, you make soak 1 tbsp of rice, preferably boiled rice/ sela chawal, for about 2-3 hours. grind along with red & green chilies to taste, you may add 1" ginger piece & 3-4 pearls of garlic also, as ginger & garlic aid in digestion, helps to relieve gas problem. Grind it coarsely. Those who like it fermented, may keep it overnight & make thick /thin like uttapam/ dosa on a thick tava or non-stick tava, using about 1-2 mg of oil, turn & cook on both sides. for those who like onion, you may make it with finely cut onion. This goes well with any chutney or gun powder, which south Indians call ' malagai podi'. This is a very healthy snack.
