Pesarattu is a traditional Andhra-style dosa known for its high protein content and crisp texture. This Pearl Millet Pesarattu recipe enhances the classic preparation by combining pearl millet (bajra) with whole green gram, creating a balanced, nourishing meal.

Light fermentation improves digestibility, while ginger, chillies, onions, and coriander add depth of flavor. Crisp on the outside and soft inside, this pesarattu is ideal for breakfast, brunch, or a light dinner.
