Bring a child in front of the dining table is a difficult task that mother can understand. So here is a delicious breakfast dish that kids will love.
Cornmeal Dhokla (Bhutte aur Suji ka Dhokla)
Dhokla is a favorite breakfast with people all across India and away. It is light, fluffy and healthy. Traditional dhoklas are made by soaking dals and fermenting them overnight, while the instant version usually uses gram flour(besan) or semolina(suji). Here we make one using whole maize flour or cornmeal or make ka atta. This is a good way of introducing cornmeal in your child’s diet.
Ingredients
½ cup cornmeal/maize flour( make ka atta)
½ cup fine semolina (suji)
½ cup curd
1 tsp ginger paste
1 tsp sugar
1 tbsp lemon juice
