Notes:

  • I have used a homemade idli dosa batter.
  • For small babies and toddlers, skip red chili's, ginger and red chili powder. Just mash the dosa with your hands or just dip in warm water and give if they can't chew them.
  • You can skip onions too.
  • Spread the dosa thin or thick as per your preference.
  • You can skip ginger if you don't like the flavor.
  • Adding salt is not recommended until 1 year of age.
  • Always check with your pediatrician before introducing any new food.
