I am sure your little one will relish this stuffed dosa both as a snack and at meal time. The stuffing is an ideal way of introducing a combination of vegetables to your child's meal. The vegetables not only serve as an important source of nutrients like calcium, iron, vitamin a and fibre, but also give a feeling of fullness and satiate your child for longer periods of time. I've used sprouts here instead ofk soaked moong because sprouts are easier to digest and also sprouting increases the nutritive value of pulses.

When the mustard seeds crackle, add the asafoetida. Add all the vegetables, fresh coocnut and chaat masala to the tempering and mix well.
Divide the filling mixture into 4 equa portions. Keep aside.

How to proceed

Heat and grease a non-stick tava (griddle) with a little oil
Pour a ladleful of the batter on the tava and spread it evenly using a circular motion.
Drizzle a little oil on the sides to allow to cook.
Top with one portion of the filling mixture and spread it evenly over the dosa.
When the lower side of the dosa is lightly browned, fold over.
Repeat to make 3 more dosas. Serve lukewarm with coconut chutney.
