Keto Pesarattu

Keto Pesarattu is a delicious and nutritious Indian dosa made from green moong dal, perfect for a low-carb breakfast. This savory pancake is packed with protein and can be enjoyed with coconut chutney or avocado for added flavor.

Ingredients

• Green moong dal - 100 grams
• Water - 200 ml
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Green chili - 1, finely chopped
• Cumin seeds - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - to taste
• Coconut oil - 2 tablespoons (for cooking)
• Fresh coriander leaves - 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional)

Steps

1. Rinse the green moong dal under cold water until the water runs clear, then soak it in water for at least 4 hours or overnight.
2. Drain the soaked dal and transfer it to a blender. Add 200 ml of fresh water, ginger, green chili, cumin seeds, and salt. Blend until you achieve a smooth batter.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1/2 tablespoon of coconut oil.
4. Pour a ladleful of the batter onto the skillet and spread it into a thin, even circle.
5. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown, then drizzle another 1/2 tablespoon of coconut oil around the edges.
6. Flip the dosa and cook for an additional 2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding oil as needed.
7. Serve hot with coconut chutney or sliced avocado, and garnish with fresh coriander leaves if desired.
