Pesarattu Dosa Recipe (Andhra Special Pesarattu)

Notes :

1. This is my way of making Pesarattu dosa and it is not a traditional method of making Pesarattu.

2. Onions can be added while cooking the dosa instead of mixing with the batter.

3.You can either make the dosa thin or thick like adai. That's purely your choice.For a thin dosa, add little more water to the batter before making dosa's.

4. Always check with your pediatrician before introducing any new food to your baby.

5. Adjust spices according to your baby's tolerance level.

Hi Kalyani, does the moong have to be soaked for 8 hours. If I'm using the green moong dal half variety, can I soak it for 2 hours?
