A plate of warm, golden pesarattu dosa is more than just breakfast—it’s a complete meal that powers your day with plant-based protein, fiber, and rich flavor.
Made with green gram (moong dal), this Andhra delicacy has become a favorite across India for those who love healthy yet delicious food.
Thanks to Truroots by Vrinda, preparing this traditional dish is now easier than ever with the Sprouted Pesarattu Premix, a ready-to-cook blend that brings authentic taste and nutrition together.
What Makes Pesarattu Dosa So Special?
Unlike regular dosas made with rice and urad dal, pesarattu dosa uses whole green gram as its base.
This makes it naturally gluten-free, high in protein, and rich in fiber — a perfect match for fitness lovers, vegetarians, and anyone looking for a balanced meal.
Why Pesarattu Dosa Stands Out:
- Rich in Plant Protein: Builds strength and muscle.
- Loaded with Fiber: Keeps you full and promotes healthy digestion.
- Low in Fat: Ideal for weight control and gut balance.
- Gluten-Free & Diabetic Friendly: Suitable for all dietary needs.
- Packed with Iron and Folate: Boosts blood health and energy.
- Quick to Cook: Ready in minutes with sprouted batter mixes.
Each bite of pesarattu dosa combines crisp texture, mild spice, and wholesome nutrition — making it one of the best high-protein Indian breakfasts.
Traditional Ingredients That Power Pesarattu Dosa
Core Ingredients:
- Whole green gram (moong dal)
- Ginger and green chilies
- Onions
- Cumin seeds
- Salt to taste
- Curry leaves (optional)
Modern Additions:
- Spinach for extra iron
- Oats for fiber
- Carrots for sweetness and color
- Sprouted moong for better protein absorption
However, if you want to skip soaking and grinding, Truroots by Vrinda’s Sprouted Pesarattu Premix delivers all these benefits instantly — just mix, cook, and enjoy.
Why Sprouted Pesarattu Is Even Healthier
Sprouting moong enhances its amino acid profile, boosts vitamin content, and reduces antinutrients that block mineral absorption.
That means sprouted pesarattu dosa gives you more nutrients in every serving and digests easily without heaviness.
The Sprouted Pesarattu Premix from Truroots by Vrinda is made using 100% natural sprouted lentils, retaining freshness and taste.
It’s an excellent choice for people who want convenience without compromising on health.
