Quickie- Banana Dosa

Since my lil fellow has started PG, he has this constant hunger pangs and demands too. You can't just fix him anything like before 😟 And thats when I started searching for snacks which can be quick and tasty too. And that's how I stumbled upon Banana Dosa. Wow banana and dosa, both individually are my kiddo's fav and combined one would be a super hit. I also did make a variation and tried banana idli (which I feel is easier than dosa, since you don't have to wait and make them)
So when the demand is high, this is the quickie which can come to your rescue. 

Ingredients: 
  • Banana (I used Robusta) : 2-3
  • Dosa/Idli Batter
  • Sugar or Jaggery (melted) : 2 Tbsp
  • Raisins: Handful (Optional)
  • Oil or Ghee  : To grease the pan
Method: 
  1. Mash the banana nicely with a fork.add in the sugar or the jaggery syrup and mix well.
  2. To this add in the Dosa/Idli batter and mix well. Add in the raisins.
  3. Heat the dosa pan/tava and spoon in the prepared batter. 
  4. Unlike normal dosa do not spread it. This would be more like a pancake, so just pour the batter and let it cook on one side. 
  5. Add in oil or ghee through the sides and once the first side is done, flip over to cook the second side too.
Similarly, Add in spoonfuls of batter to the greased Idli pan and keep it for steam(like normal idli)
Once steam comes, you can keep it on a lower flame for about 5 mins and remove the banana Idli.

 Notes:
  •  If you do not mash the banana well and leave chunks, it will be difficult to flip over the dosa and it will sink. So make sure its mashed well. 
  • Pour less amount of batter for the dosa, and do not spread. 
  • Cover the Pan while cooking first side for faster and easier cooking
  • To add in the healthy quotient, you can also add dry fruits powder for added taste and health

Easy Sambar (without tamarind)

Sambar is a must in most south Indian families and like others even I have grown up having dosa- sambhar and chutney's. A Sambar is a lentil based vegetable stew or curry cooked with dal/lentils along with some veggies and some tamarind pulp. There are coconut based sambar as well and each region has its own sambar variation. In my house, we all prefer quick meals, but yet tasty. My mother who was a working lady would make elaborate meals only during holidays or special occasions. Rest all the meals would be quick yet very very tasty. This is one such sambar which my mom has taught me and is super quick.  This doesn't use tamarind like in a traditional sambar and gets its tangy flavour from tomatoes. Its quick, one pot sambar recipe. Lets dive in and see how its done: Ingredients: Serves 3 1/2 to 1 cup Tur Dal/ Yellow Lentils 2-3 tomatoes chopped (depending on size) 1/2 cup Veggies each of your choice cubed Turmeric powder A pinch of Asafoetida/ Hing 1/2 tsp chilli powder Salt

Home-Made Nuts Powder

Home-Made Nuts powder is something which I have been making since Jeremy was a 9 month old. Initially to introduce nuts, I used to powder each nut separately (one day each) and mix with every food. As he grew older I realized he hates whole nuts especially Almonds and Pistachios. Cashews are still ok with him provided they are salted ones. But still he wasn't consuming much. Thats when I decided to continue making the essential and important nut powder. He hates the fact that nuts or chunky powder has been added and just rejects the whole meal even though its tasty and likes it. But this fine nut powder is a winner and I add it up in almost everything on a daily basis.  So this nut powder is perfect for fussy kid like mine or if you just wanna introduce nuts to your kids diet, this is a good solution. Its pretty simple and fuss free.   The powder is suitable for babies over 8 months, but before you feed this to your baby, make sure that baby has already tried the powdered version o
