If you wish you can also add filling of upma to a wholesome and authentic MLA pesarattu but since DH doesn't like upma I don't do that, if you want to add upma then check recipe here. Pesarattu taste yum even without upma too as we have onion, cumin sprinkled so you can skip upma filling too without much worry and enjoy pesarattu as breakfast or even dinner. Try to use freshly crushed or powder cumin for extra flavors. I always roast cumin while heating tava for roast and quickly crush cumin with roller pin.

• This batter is lighter than regular pesarattu made with rice, so it's gets cooked faster and also becomes crispy
• If you want you can adding chopped onion in batter and then make pesarattu or you can void onion all together.
