Ingredients

• Green gram (moong dal) - 1 cup
• Water - 1.5 cups
• Cumin seeds - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Onion (finely chopped) - 1/2 cup
• Tomato (finely chopped) - 1/2 cup
• Coriander leaves (chopped) - 2 tablespoons
• Green chili (finely chopped) - 1 small
• Chaat masala - 1 teaspoon
• Tamarind chutney - 2 tablespoons
• Mint chutney - 2 tablespoons
• Sev (crispy chickpea noodles) - 1/4 cup
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. Soak the green gram (moong dal) in water for 4-6 hours or overnight.
2. Drain the soaked dal and blend it with 1.5 cups of water, cumin seeds, and salt to make a smooth batter.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet or tawa over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil.
4. Pour a ladleful of the batter onto the skillet and spread it into a thin, round shape. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the edges lift and the bottom is golden brown.
5. Flip the pesarattu and cook for another 2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter to make additional crepes.
6. In a bowl, combine chopped onion, tomato, coriander leaves, green chili, and chaat masala. Mix well.
7. To assemble the Pesarattu Chaat, place one crepe on a plate, spread a layer of tamarind and mint chutney on top, followed by the vegetable mixture.
8. Sprinkle sev over the top and drizzle with lemon juice before serving.
