Lets see how to make pesarattu with millets

We will be making foxtail millet pesarattu

This pesarattu is very tasty and also very healthy

Here I’ve used 1 cup foxtail millets and 1 cup green gram

We can increase the quantity of green gram also. For 2 cups of green gram, 1 cup of foxtail millets also could be used

Soak green gram and fox tail millets for 4-5 hours

They can be soaked over night also

Here I’ve soaked them for 5 hours

We have to grind these into a thick paste.

Add 2-3 small ginger pieces, green chillies and grind it

Next, add foxtail millets and grind for a minute

Then add green gram along with some water and grind it into a soft batter

Move it into a bowl and mix

Add 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon cumin seeds and mix

Batter for millet pesarattu is ready!

Heat pan

Put the stove on medium flame, pour a spoon of batter on the pan and spread it along the pan

Add some more ghee on top. Oil also could be used

If desired, chopped onions, green chillies, coriander leaves and ginger could be sprinkled on top

Cook for a minute till the pesarattu turns brown and serve hot!
