Moong dal Dosa- easy, healthy and wholesome breakfast/dinner recipe. This moong dal dosa tastes similar to whole green gram dosa(pesarattu) and very quick to make too as it doesn't require any fermentation. I used to make Whole green gram dosa(pesarattu) once in two weeks for its healthy goodness and when I am running out of regular idli dosa batter. For a change, I have tried with moong dal instead of whole green gram, surprisingly it turned out nice:) This moong dal dosa is easily digestible and soft, hence it can be given to babies from 8 months with curd once you introduced basic fruits, vegetables and cereals.
Now let's get on to check how to make moong dal dosa recipe for babies, toddlers and kids.

Hi kalyani,
My lo is 10 months old. I haven't tried green chilled as yet for my baby. Added sambar powder very occasionally. But as soon as she had she started weeping. So is it advised to add green chilled ???
And also if i can add shall i remove the seeds n put the flesh alone... Please advise.. Thanks..
Kalyani
you can skip green chilies for a month and try once the baby is one year old
