Disclaimer: I am not a nutritionist or a dietician. I am doing what is best for my kid to create a balanced Breakfast. When I was a toddler, my mother made me some star-shaped poori’s or cut my idli’s like a Moon & I used to get so excited & eat all my meals happily with a smile. So if you are one of those Mom’s, who is looking for toddler breakfast ideas, mostly Indian style, then I am happy to say - You are on the right page 😉 One of the cool things about a lot of these recipes is that they are a great way for you to sneak in lots of extra veggies into your toddler’s meal 😉 Having your children try and eat different fruits and vegetables when they’re younger will help develop a healthy palette.

It is easy to make it early morning when I am in a hurry to go to the office with some prep work done the previous night.

I have tried to include a lot of vegetable puree or finely chopped vegetables in these meals. Dhwani likes to eat yogurt or curd with any meal aside.

Simple as can be! Mash up half the avocado, salt, and pepper, and smear this thick mixture on toasted whole wheat or brown bread on one side. Get some protein by adding cooked/canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans). I also added washed Organic Blueberries and strawberries, which are cut into bite-sized.
3. Breakfast on Left – Neer Dosa + Honey + Sliced Red Grapes
To make neer dosa: Soak ½ cup of white or brown rice overnight and grind soaked rice with ¼ cup of water to make a smooth paste. Add an extra 1 cup of water later, along with some salt. Ensure the batter is very thin, just like buttermilk; otherwise, the dosa will not turn out properly. Here is the detailed neer dosa recipe.
