Notes
It will take at least two days to get 1inch sprouts. It is better to have them after they get 1inch sprouts.
The prep time is given assuming that you have sprouts and idli dosa batter ready.
Avoid green chillies when preparing for kids.
You can prepare dosa with just the sprouts and spices or sprouts, black gram, rice and spices and so on. You can use raw rice or boiled rice or combination oft he two. Adding little bit of rice makes the batter easy to spread on the pan and also little crunchier.
You can also make it as an instant dosa using just rice flour, but you will miss out the sour flavour which you get by fermenting the batter.
Ginger and cumin seeds aids in easy digestion of the dosa.
