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. 

Ingredients:

1. Green gram - 100 gms
2. Horse gram - 50 gms
3. Bengal gram - 50 gms
4. Idly Dosa Batter - 1/4 kg
