    Bajra Dosa Recipe for Babies, Toddlers and Kids

    Bajra Dosa/Pearl millets Dosa/Kambu Dosai - healthy wholesome food for babies, toddlers and kids. Pearl millet is called as Bajri in Marathi, Bajra in Hindi, Sajje in Kannada, Sajjalu in Telugu, Kambam in Malayalam, Kambu in Tamil. Bajra is one of the healthy millet but often ignored when it comes to including them in our regular diet.

    Pearl millet is being rich in iron, it's very important to ย to maintain the hemoglobin level of babies and kids.ย Bajra dosa is one of the easiest way to include bajra in kids diet and can be given to babies from 10 months (with curd) once the baby started eating all family foods. This bajra dosa is made with bajra flour and urad dal, also it's fermented and hence definitely better & healthier than instant ones. Here I have listed some health benefits of bajra and information on when and how to introduce bajra to babies.

    Health benefits of Bajra to babies, Toddlers and Kids:
    • Its easily digestible and less allergenic.
    • Being rich in fiber helps to relive from constipation.
    • Gluten free
    • Good for heart
    When and how to introduce bajra to babies?

    Bajra is easily digestible and less allergenic, hence it can be included in baby's diet from 8 months, once the baby is introduced to basic vegetables, fruits and cereals. Do have a word with your baby's doctor before you include bajra to your baby's diet.ย When you introduce, give as a porridge made of Bajra flour. Then slowly include bajra dosa, bajra roti etc. Whole Bajra could be included after one year. Please note that excessive usage of bajra is not advisable, hence you can offer it once or twice a week.

    Now let's get on to check how to make bajra dosa recipe for babies, toddlers and kids.

    Notes:
    • Skip salt for babies below one year.
    • For small babies dip it in curd or mildly spiced sambar and offer.
    • The batter will be little watery after grinding as we are using mixie. Next day after fermentation, it should be okay.
    • Use cold water to grind in order to avoid the motor heating.
    • Always use hands to mix the batter that helps in better fermentation.
    • Fermentation time will be more if you are living in a cold country.
    • You could make this dosa's thin or thick as per your preference, in both the ways it tastes good.
    • Always check with your pediatrician before giving any new food.

      Hi Kalyani,

      Just stopped by your blog and I must say ur recipes are mind blowing. I have never imagined one could be this innovative. I too have a very fuzzy 2-year old and I was looking for all ways and means to satisfy her palate. ur blog just came in handy and I must admit that ur my abathpandavi (savior).
      I just have a quick question to u. Could u please tell if v can add bajra flour along with already prepared dosa batter and make dosas instaed of soaking and then grinding urad dhall? cos im working full time and do not have time to grind batter for each dosa separately.

      Thanks
      Sriranjani

      Thank you for the recipe. As mentioned in your comments, have you shared instant bajra dosa with bajra flour alone? I could not find it. So wanted to confirm with you. Thank you
