2.Drain the water,grind the rice & green gram dhal with onion,ginger,green chillies and salt.Sprinkle some curry leaves.
3.Add water as needed.The consistency of the batter should not be very smooth like dosa batter.It should be little coarse.
4.The pesarattu batter need not ferment.You can make them as soon as the batter is ready.
5.Heat a tawa ,keep in low-medium flame.Once its hot,evenly spread the batter like a thin round layer like dosa.Sprinkle some onion.
6.Drizzle oil around the edges and also a little in the middle so that all sides get evenly cooked and is crispy.
