Instant Ragi Dosa Recipe for babies,Toddlers & Kids | Baby Food (1)

Instant ragi dosa made with homemade sprouted ragi flour is a healthy breakfast/Dinner for babies, toddlers and kids. I have already posted fermented ragi dosa with urad dal which needs soaking and grinding but yields soft ragi dosas. This version is instant , requires no soaking and not much soft but tastes best when you serve this hot directly from tawa. I usually prefer ragi dosa with urad dal, but I make this instant version when there is a demand for quick healthy breakfast/dinner as once mixing part is done, your dosa will be ready in no time!

You can give this to babies from 8 months as a breakfast/dinner. It's a healthy alternative choice to your baby when he/she is bored of the usual ragi porridge. Try this instant ragi dosa for a change and am sure your kid will love it! Let's get on to check how to make this healthy instant ragi dosa for babies & kids.

Notes:

  • I have used home made sprouted ragi flour, you can use organic ready made ragi flour too.
  • For small babies, skip coconut. Just mash the dosa with your hands or just dip in warm water and give.
  • I made small dosas. If you want crispy dosas like rava/suji dosa, add more water while mixing the batter and make the batter thin. While making dosas, pour the batter from outer corner of the tawa and fill inside.
  • You can skip ginger if you don't like the flavor.
  • Generally ragi doesn't cause any allergies, but check for symptomsand stop feeding your baby if you find any.
  • Adding salt is not recommended until 1 year of age.
  • Always check with your pediatrician before introducing any new food.
