Green gram dhal adai/Pesarattu

Ingredients:

Whole moong dhal/Green gram dhal	1 cup
Raw rice	1/8 cup
Ginger chopped	2 tsp
Green chillies	2 or 3
Salt	3/4 tsp
Curry leaves	a sprig
Asafoetida	a pinch
Onions chopped	1 small sized
Oil	2 tablespoons

Procedure:
Step1:
Wash and soak the green gram dhal and rice together for atleast 2 hrs. I usually soak it overnight

Step2:
Grind both together with little water. Add ginger, salt,asafeotida and green chillies while grinding.
Grind to a smooth batter. The batter should be of uthappam consistency. Somewhere in between the consistency of idli batter and dosa batter.Add curry leaves to the batter and mix well

Step3:
Heat the tawa (When water is sprinkled on the tawa it should sizzle) and add 1 tablespoon of chopped onions.
Alternatively, the onions can be separately fried and then added to the batter
Now pour the batter similar to dosa. Add some oil

Step4:
Once cooked, flip the dosa and cook to golden brown on both the sides.

Notes:
Adding onions is completely optional
Sprouted moong dhal can also be used which is much more healthier
2 tablespoons of grated coconut can also be added while grinding the batter
