	~~==Etymology==~~		'''Pesarattu''' is a type of [[dosa]], which is a popular breakfast dish in the [[Indian cuisine\|Indian subcontinent]]. It is made from [[green gram]] (mung beans) and is a staple food in the state of [[Andhra Pradesh]] in [[India]]. Unlike the traditional dosa, which is made from a fermented batter of rice and urad dal, pesarattu is made from a batter of soaked and ground green gram.
	~~The term "~~Pesarattu" is a ~~combination~~ of ~~two Telugu words: "pesara" meaning~~ mung ~~bean~~ and ~~"attu" meaning dosa~~. ~~Thus,~~ the ~~term literally translates to "mung bean~~ dosa".

	==~~Ingredients and~~ Preparation==		== Preparation ==
	~~Pesarattu is made from a batter~~ of ~~soaked~~ whole ~~mung beans, rice, and various spices~~. The ~~mung~~ beans ~~and rice~~ are ~~soaked overnight,~~ then ground into a smooth batter~~. The batter is then spread on a hot griddle to form a thin~~, ~~crispy pancake. It is typically served with a side of~~ [[~~chutney~~]] or [[~~sambar~~]].		The preparation of pesarattu involves soaking whole green gram overnight. The soaked beans are then ground into a smooth batter along with [[ginger]], [[green chili\|green chilies]], and [[salt]]. Some variations of the recipe include adding a small amount of [[rice]] to the batter to enhance the texture.

	~~==Variations==~~		Once the batter is ready, it is spread on a hot [[tava]] (griddle) in a circular motion to form a thin pancake. The pesarattu is cooked on both sides until it turns golden brown. It is often served with [[coconut chutney]] or [[ginger chutney]].
	~~There are several variations of Pesarattu, including "Upma Pesarattu" and "Pesarattu with Allam Pachadi". In Upma Pesarattu~~, a ~~layer of~~ [[~~upma~~]] is ~~spread~~ on ~~the dosa before~~ it ~~is rolled up~~. ~~Pesarattu with Allam Pachadi~~ is served with ~~a type of~~ ginger chutney.

	==~~Nutritional Value~~==		== Variations ==
	Pesarattu is a ~~healthy~~ and ~~nutritious dish~~. ~~Mung beans are~~ a ~~good source~~ of ~~protein and dietary fiber~~, ~~while rice provides carbohydrates. The spices used in the preparation also have various health benefits~~.		[[File:Pesarattu.jpg\|thumb\|left\|Close-up of Pesarattu showing its texture]]
			There are several variations of pesarattu, including the "upma pesarattu," which is a combination of pesarattu and [[upma]]. In this variation, a portion of upma is placed inside the pesarattu before it is folded, similar to a [[masala dosa]].

	==~~See Also~~==		Another variation is the "onion pesarattu," where finely chopped [[onion\|onions]] are sprinkled on the pesarattu while it is cooking, adding a distinct flavor and texture.

			== Nutritional Value ==
			Pesarattu is considered a healthy dish due to its high protein content, as it is made primarily from green gram. It is also rich in dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals, making it a nutritious option for breakfast or a light meal.

			== Cultural Significance ==
			Pesarattu holds cultural significance in Andhra Pradesh and is often served during festivals and special occasions. It is a popular choice for breakfast and is also enjoyed as a snack or light meal throughout the day.
