Protein Rich Mixed Sprouts Dosa Recipe

Healthy Dosa for Children !!!

This Dosa is easy to make for kids once you have sprouts in your hand. I soaked green gram, horse gram and bengal gram separately and kept overnight for sprouting. Green gram sprouted so quickly and next horse gram and the bengal gram took more time to get sprouted. You may add any other sprouts along with this. I have added Idly dosa batter for crispiness and it gives a good taste. When this batter is poured as dosa as such, children will not eat, so I have add ed grated coconut and carrots which gives sweetness for the Dosa and healthy too. Kids may not eat sprouts, so this might be a good idea to feed them tastier and healthier breakfast or evening tiffin.

1. Green gram - 100 gms
2. Horse gram - 50 gms
3. Bengal gram - 50 gms

Vyshu will not at all eat sprouts uncooked. So I was searching whether there are any other means to include raw sprouts in our dishes. It must also be liked by kids too. So thought of preparing sprouts paratha. The special thing about this paratha is the sprouted green gram is semi cooked. So it retains its raw nature. So now am satisfied with this dish to feed children and Vyshu also liked it very much with the combination of Tomato Thokku very well and now it became a regular evening tiffin for her :).
