Ingredients needed
Foxtail millet -1 cup
Whole green gram -1 cup
Red chillies-4
Green chillies -2
Onion -2-3
Ginger – 1/2 inch piece
Salt to taste
Coriander leaves chopped – 2 tbsp
Preparation
Wash and soak foxtail millet and whole green gram together for 5-6 hours. Grind it coarsely just like adai with red chillies, green chillies, ginger, needed salt and little water. The batter should neither be too thick nor too thin.
Leave it to ferment for 5-6 hours. If you want to prepare it for dinner, soak it in the morning and grind it before noon.
Method
Before making pesarattu, add finely chopped onions and coriander leaves to the batter.
Heat a tawa on medium flame, take a ladle of batter and pour it in the center. Spread it in a circular motion just as you do for dosa. Drizzle a tsp of oil around the pesarattu. Using the back of the ladle make holes in the pesarattu so that it will get cooked well. Drizzle a little oil in the holes also.
When the corners start lifting up, flip the pesarattu to the other side. Drizzle another half tsp of oil around the pessarattu.
Repeat the same process for the rest of the batter.

can u name the brand of foxtail millet available in u.s
Why fermenting this.. ? But normal Pesarattu is not fermented?
Fermenting makes it more softer and easily digestible. It is totally your preferences.
