Pesarattu Upma


Today's recipe is Andhra special pesarratu upma.Pesarattu is a kind of crepe made with whole mung beans and a simple upma made with semolina is topped .It is served along with a spicy,tangy ginger chutney.Pesarattu with upma is a healthy and filling meal option.

Originally the upma used to top the pesarattu is white in colr and no turmeric powder is added.I normally make the upma in yellow color,so I added.It is purely optional.
