Very healthy. Green moong dal provides the proteins and have it with stir fried vegetables.

Mam, adding one tablespoon urad dhal soaked and grinding along with moong dhal makes the pesarattu stay soft for a long time.

Original Pesarattu is made with only Mung and mung dal. There is no rice used. It is good for diabetics
