Pesarattu Upma

Pesarattu upma is a popular Andhra breakfast which is very good in taste and healthy recipe too.Here pesarattu means whole moong daal dosa and we can prepare this dosa with yellow moong dal too.But in a traditional method or in restaurants they serve with whole  green moong dal..This is typically served with umpa.The great side dish for this breakfast is allam chutney ,coconut chutney.You can have with  either one or both.This is healthy protein dish which is my favorite too.Coming to upma it is easily made with sooji or upma rava.Iam posting this dish in BM#55 under the theme Healthy breakfast recipes.
