• Drain the soaked moong dal and wash 2 to 3 times.

• Put it into a blender, along with the green chillies,ginger.
• add enough water and grind to form a batter ( consistency like dosa batter)
• pour it into a bowl. mix in the fennel powder, salt and asafoetida powder.
• using a non stick tawa pour 1 big spoon in the form of a dosa. drizzle with oil. when it browns, turn it over till it becomes slightly brown on the other side too.

• you can add chopped onions and curry leaves to the batter .
• but if you want a crisp pesarettu, then use just the pain dough without the onions.
