Dosa and idli are fail proof breakfast recipes in many Indian homes, and mine too! While these are healthy and wholesome options, toddlers get bored of the usual dosas very soon and start their picky eating antics. And that’s where Moms need to get innovative and add variety to the basic dosa recipe. There are many varieties you can try, like Stuffed Water Chestnut Dosa, Ragi Flakes Dosa, Sprouted Sathumaavu Dosa, Vegetable Pizza Dosa, Sweet Potato Dosa, Moong Dal Sprouts Dosa and Pearl Millet Pesarattu. Today we add another one to this list – Rajma Dosa – a no fermentation recipe!!

Kidney beans are a good source of potassium, magnesium, soluble fiber and protein, but kids may pick them out of their food. That’s the advantage of this recipe, as the rajma is included in the dosa! Basic Indian spices like green chili, ginger and cumin seeds add to the flavor. You can skip the green chillies for little kids. Serve with curd based dips or coconut chutney.
