Upma Pesarattu-MLA Pesarattu Recipe-Andhra Recipes

March 21, 2016 by PadhuSankar 8 Comments

MLA pesarattu is a very popular dish in Andhra Pradesh and is served with upma. According to wikipedia “A variety of pesarattu served with upma is known as MLA pesarattu, which came to be known after it was popular in MLA quarters restaurants in Hyderabad. It was part of the Andhra meals in MLA quarters.” I have already shared with you moong dal dosa with split yellow lentils and pesarattu made with whole green gram dal or whole moong dal. Today we will learn how to make Upma Pesarattu following this easy recipe with step wise pictures.

Method


Heat a tawa, when it is hot, pour a ladle of batter and spread it in a circular motion.

Drizzle a tsp of oil around the dosa and cook on medium heat. When the corners start lifting up, flip it over to the other side.

Cook on medium heat. Once the dosa is cooked, remove from tawa, place a scoop of upma on the dosa and fold it. Serve hot with ginger chutney or coconut chutney. Check out rava upma recipe.

Note – Instead of adding onions to the batter, you can also sprinkle on top of the dosa. I personally prefer adding it to the batter.

You can have this pesarattu even without the upma.

    Some enhancers:
    1. The her one pesarattus are much thinner than the ones showed in pictures.
    2. The onions are not mixed in the batter. Rather, one should have a bowl of finely chopped onions, green chillies, ginger and an dash of jeera which is sprinkled liberally over the pesarattu.
    Served best with ginger chutney and coconut chutney.

      Kindly read the full post. Actually I have written under "notes" that adding onions to the batter is my personal preference.

    Hey,

    I needed your guidance on this:

    I tried grinding my own green moong flour at home by dry roasting it and then grinding it.
    Unlike ready-made moong flour, mine was slightly coarse.

    I have soaked this flour in water and plan to leave it overnight.

    I'm interested in using it to make dosa tomorrow.

    Will this give me good results?

    Any tips?

      MLA stands for Member of Legislative Assembly.This dish is named so as it is popular in canteens and restaurants in the MLA quarters in Hyderabad.
