INSTANT MULTIGRAIN DOSA|SATHUMAAVU DOSAI

INSTANT MULTIGRAIN DOSA|SATHUMAAVU DOSAI

Sathu Maavu/Multigrain Health Mix/Home made cerelac is one regular food in my daily routine. I begin my mornings with this drink and I prefer making roti or dosa twice a week with this so that it gets included in my little one’s diet too. I somehow have not experimented giving him this as a porridge to him because it is always recommended to stop offering porridges as regular meals above 8 months for babies. This dosa recipe was an instant try and it really turned out good in taste.

You can realise the struggle I had in making perfect dosa with the images. Yeah.. Some extra care and patience is required to make this dosa without tearing into pieces.You shall definitely master the skill on your second trial itself for sure. This recipe will be an excellent choice in terms of nutrition and less effort. There is no need to grind or ferment batter to make this dosa.I kindly request you to please read the P.S section for more details.

P.S:

Any other ingredient add to this flour definitely needs cooking and it might need some other industrial pre processing to get instantly mixed with hot water.

I just used the rice which is generally used in cooking.

All porridges(based on rice) can be given for babies above 6 months. It is better to always give a semi solid(non pouring) consistency porridge to babies.

Have a word with your pediatrician before introducing new foods.

Sterlise the bowls used for cooking and feeding.

Always feed with a spoon and bowl rather than any bottles.

Kindly use this for emergency and travel purposes alone.

The water has to really hot,only then it mixes instantly.

Prefer poha/aval/beaten rice instead of rice in this recipe for safer side.
