Steamed Dosa for Babies with step by step pictures. This is made with Dosa Batter and Ghee.
Steamed Dosa for Babies
As soon as i posted my feeding schedule for baby, I got so many mails from y viewers asking me how to make steamed dosa for babies. I just replied them the procedure, since it was too easy to be posted here. But many of you wanted the recipe. So here I am sharing it with you.
Normally I feed maha idli for breakfast and dinner, Since it is easy to digest. But someday she needs something different for variation. that time I make this steamed version of dosa. Steaming dosa makes it softer, I mix it with warm water and make it like a paste then feed her. She loves it. Adding ghee gives a little taste to it. I even sprinkle some salt and pepper for more taste.
1)This is so filling and nutritious meal for your babies.Â
Â
2)You can start feeding this for babies above 6 months. For 6 month baby dont add pepper.
Â
3)Always feed this meal breakfast and dinner.Â
Â
4)When feeding, i add some warm water and mash the dosa well and feed. This prevents choking.
Â
5)Adding ghee enhances the flavour and make it more nutritious for you baby and helps in weight gaining in babies.Â
Â
6)Make sure the ghee which you use is pure ones. I make my own ghee.Â
7)I sometimes add some salt and pepper over this and feed her. Â

Hi Aarthi,
By son is 1 year 1 month old now. I try to give him finger foods and granular food but he does not take them and only wants to have properly mashed food. I always mash things like roti with daal, khichdi with a potato masher and then give. He even does not take cheese pieces. If I leave small peices of veggies in sooji upma, he will make only few chew like movements and swallow but I see those pieces as it is when he passes stools.
Please let me know to make him chew.
Shruti.

@Ranjeeta Sharmaits not a issue..your baby is learning to eat finger foods now..Keep giving wel cooking bits of food..Slowly he will learn to eat them

Hi arthi, I loved all ur receipes and I tried it on my baby too even she loved it. I just wanted a clarification can we add clear rasam to steamed Dosa or idly? I have my 8.5 months old baby tht way she liked it a lot but tht night she got up in middle of the night n cried a lot. I'm not sure if it's cos of this. I gave her dal rasam only.
