🇮🇳 Indian

Green-moong pesarattu wrapped around upma, the Andhra tiffin called MLU. The batter does the work; the pan does the magic. Plate with tomato chutney and filter coffee alongside.

Ingredients

Saltto taste
Onion2, finely sliced
Ginger2-inch piece
Green Chili2
Mustard Seeds1/2 tsp
Curry Leaves1 sprig
Asafoetidaa pinch
Coconut Oil2 tbsp
Green Lentils1 cup

Instructions

1
Wash and soak the grains and dal; grind soft, mix with salt and leave in a warm spot until the batter rises and smells faintly sour.
2
Loosen the batter to pouring consistency — think thick pancake batter, not glue.
3
Get the pan properly hot; the first attempt tells you everything about the temperature.
4
Pour, spread with the back of the ladle in ever-widening circles, and trickle oil down the sides.
5
Wait for the edges to lift on their own, then flip for a minute more; serve hot with chutney and sambar.

Chef's tip

Resting the finished dish for five minutes off the heat lets the spices settle and deepen.
