Sprouts and Nuts in Puttu

Steamed rice puttu makes a great breakfast in Kerala. Add some sprouts and peanuts (soaked overnight) into the steamer when you are making the puttu. It will make for a nice crunchy breakfast and ideal for helping children get extra proteins. You can also add grated coconuts, grated carrots into the puttu to make it a complete meal.

Sprouts in Dosa and Idly

Just before you make the traditional Idli or Dosa for breakfast, you can put a handful of sprouts into the blender and mix it with the batter before steaming the idlies or making the dosa. The dosa will come out crisp with a golden colour and your children will not resist it.
