Green Dosa or Mung bean (green gram) crepes…
This is a diabetic-friendly and healthy dosa or crepe. The batter is made with mung beans and rice, while in Dosa urad dal is used instead of mung beans. For making this dosa, you don’t have to wait for the batter to ferment, grind the batter and make the crepes right away.
This dosa is quite popular in Andhra Pradesh in India and is called Pesarattu in Telugu. This is mostly served with coconut or ginger chutney. I made a spicy coconut chutney and served it with this. Loved this dosa and it tasted so good along with the chutney.
