    Giving too much deep fried snacks for your kids is not at all a healthy option. It results in young age obesity in kids which results in so many diseases. Instead of fried foods bring the habit of enjoying healthy foods in your kids. I am hunting for healthy toddler recipes, This is one of the traditional steamed dumplings which is rich in protein and is very good for growing children and even adults. You can make this as a after school snack or put in your kids lunch box of snacks box.

    Preparation Time : 15 mins
    Soaking Time : 1 hour
    Cooking Time : 15 mins
    Makes : 8 to 10 dumplings

    Ingredients:

    Rice - ½ cup
    Urad Dal / Ulundu Paruppu - 3 tblspn
    Fenugreek Seeds / Methi / Vendayam - ¼ tsp
    Salt to taste
    Fresh Coconut - 1 cup grated + more as needed
    Cumin Seeds / Jeerakam - 1 tsp (optional)
    Whole Pepper - 1 tsp crushed (optional)


    Method:

    Take rice in a bowl, take urad dal and fenugreek seeds in a bowl and wash well. Now soak this separately for 1 hour.

    First take dal and fenugreek seeds in a mixer and add little water at a time and make it into a very smooth paste. Dont add too much water.

    Now add drained rice in the dal and grind it till the rice is blender The rice wont be ground into a smooth paste. Little grainy is not a issue.

    Now take this mix in a bowl, add in 1 cup of fresh coconut and mix well.

    Now take some coconut in a plate, wet your hands in water, take small [portion of this batter and coat it in coconut and place it in a steamer plate or idli plate.

    Now steam this for 15 mins.

    Remove it and serve hot.

    You can add some crushed cumin seeds and pepper to the batter and mix well and  make dumplings for little spicy version.


    Notes:
    1) Dont add too much water when grinding, if you find the batter to be thin, then add some rice flour to get the consistency right.

    2)Add a good amount of fresh coconut in this, if you are making this for older people then reduce the coconut amount.
