Method:

• In a mixie jar, add 1 inch ginger and green chillies and grind coarsely
• Now add soaked Moong Dal and grind into a smooth paste by adding enough water. The batter should be consistent enough to make dosas. Add enough salt and stir well
• Prepare a flat griddle (tawa) or large, flat-bottomed skillet and place over medium-low heat. Ladle the  batter onto the middle of the heated surface and spread into a thin circle using the back of the ladle. 
• Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of onions, a little bit of chopped ginger pieces, a pinch of cumin seeds and press the onions onto the pesarattu using your ladle or spatula. Cook for a few minutes and flip over to the other side. Cook a few more minutes, transfer to a plate and serve immediately with Allam chutney. Pesarattu are best eaten hot and crispy right off the tawa.
