We are all familiar with the recipe Andra Pesarattu. Its a healthy dish and tastier too. A healthy diet plan is incomplete without the inclusion of sprouts into it. So I have prepared this Pesarattu little more healthier by making use of sprouted green gram.
The health benefits of eating sprouts are numerous as they are a rich source of protein, anti-oxidants and other vitamins. Sprouts are wonder food due to its high nutritional value. Natural sprouts are good for a healthy body and mind development. It ensures blood purification and strengthens the immune system.

Sprouting method of Green Gram:
Soak green gram for atleast 8 hours(I am not sure about the soaking time. I soaked for 8 hours). Drain the water completely.

Add the sprouted green gram to a mixer grinder along with ginger, green chilli, jeera, curry leaves, salt and soaked rice. Grind to a smooth paste. You can add little water. It should be in Ordinary Dosa batter consistency.
