Kanika has a masters in computer science and now a stay at home mom to 15-month cute little boy Onish 🙂
She loves to cook and tries new and yummy recipes to make her fussy toddler to eat.
I am trying almost all recipes for my 10.5 months daughter but she is not having any teeth till now should pancake is good to give as may be she will chew that , looking for your suggestions.
Hi Shradha,
Baby’s teeth can chew the basic foods like rice, dal, tiny pieces of veggies, fruits, roti, pancakes etc. So no worries dear 🙂 (You can try this without jaggery, jaggery can be added for babies above 1 year)
Hii hema, Can i add jaggery to pancake for my 9 months old baby… is that safe?
Hi Harshini,
It’s not recommended to give jaggery, honey or salt for babies below 1 year dear.
It will be sticky. How 8 months old baby can swallow? Plz Advise
This recipe is good for toddlers dear.
When I make this pancake, it is properly cooked from one side, but when I try to turn it to cook another side, it gets sticky and it becomes almost impossible to make a round pancake, instead it becomes mashy. Pl guide what I m doing wrong. I m using non stick pan only.
Hi Fauzia, wait for the pancakes to cook well before turning it to other side. Check if your pancake mix is in right consistency.

Dear Hema,
The information and recipes provided on your website are v useful. i have a 1 yr old who is just learning to be fussy (and not just about food). He is frequently constipated and doesnt eat anything when he is. pls suggest some bowel friendly recipes for him(also unable to adminiater iron tonic because of this which his doc says is necessary for him as his hb is on the lower side). also looking forward to ur post on potty training. if u have alreadly posted it, kindly share the link.
thanks a lot
Hi Anupama,
Each baby is unique, and a food that is constipating to one baby might not be another, so I would advice you to record a diary of the foods that is acceptable to him and foods that constipate him, do reply this comment with the list, I will get you the recipe list. Haven’t yet posted anything on potty training, will be doing soon 🙂
Dear Hema,
When he was constipated previously, i discontinued iron tonic and banana from his diet and introduced more fibrous veggies n fruits to his diet. that relieved him. but these days i find that his stools are hard. could it b because rice is his staple diet. im also concerned about his iron intake.

It’s best to get your doctor’s latest opinion on whether his iron is low currently, and if it is, you can check out the suggestions here: https://www.mylittlemoppet.com/does-my-baby-toddler-need-iron-supplements/
Hello Hema what is fennel seeds? and from how many months we can give this wheat pancake?
Hi Bhagya,

hi…can v give jarrey
You mean jaggery? If so, yes you can give
My baby eats only purees ,how can we start cheela or pancakes. .he is 9 month old..
Hi Kiran, Start with soft steamed veggies like carrot, give him in hand let him explore and taste it, don’t get worried if he doesn’t eat it fully, daily introduce new foods like this to get him interested in finger foods, you can check this link for recipes https://www.mylittlemoppet.com/category/recipes/finger-food/
Hi hema, the batter consistency has to be like that of dosa or like beated egg/besan chila?thanks
Hi Keashika,
It should be like dosa batter but a little more thick
Lovely recipe! Keeping overnight can be outside like dosa batter or should be kept in the fridge?
yes it can be kept in Fridge
Wonderful recipe. Keeping overnight in fridge or can be kept outside like dosa batter?
It can be kept in fridge also
Thanks for the lovely idea! How does one do jaggery syrup?
Hi Michelle, if you get organic powdered jaggery you can add as it is to the batter or Mix 2 teaspoon of jaggery in a 100 ml of water. Let it boil for a few minutes over stove top and when it becomes thick in consistency, remove and sieve it to remove impurities and add to the batter
Kanika ,
Amazing and yummy recipe. You know in Kerala we call this adai when made with rice and is usually served as prasad in Shiva temples.. I love the crispy edges of this pancake .. At home we make it with wheat too which is wholesome and healthy .
Your post reminded me of my childhood days .
Hema ,
Bravo for the revamped site .. Kudos …
Thank you sangeetha 🙂
