Hi ,instead of gram flour can we have any alternative? Thanks….
Hi Anu,
You can use rice flour or powdered oatmeal. But it would taste different.
Hi, do we need to ground the whole moong
Hi Rekha,
Yes dear,You have to grind.
Will it come good if we use water instead of butter milk ??
hi Madhuri, using buttermilk is to get the batter fermented if you need you can also cook without using buttermilk, in that case, use lemon juice or while using milk use it with 1/4 spoon of baking soda. (since it is not advisable for all kiddos I prefer using buttermilk)
Can I make this dosa by grinding the moong dal sprouts and skip besan.
You can try that and tell us too how it turns out. Do it with a small quantity only.
The recipe has one of the ingredient as garam masala. Is it ok to add garam masala for a toddler’s age?
Home made Garam masala can be given for toddlers
