Hi girls,

y'day for my son's trip to a puppet show made these wonderful,easy to manage crepes from Delia. They are called Pancakes by her but my DS insists they're 'pancake dosais'... call them whatever they were soft and easy to make.

here is the link: BBC - Food - Recipes - Basic pancakes with sugar and lemon

Note: I whisked the batter only with hand. quite manageable batter.

After making the crepes i let them cool slightly, dusted with icing sugar, spread some chopped strawberries and folded them into half to pack. The remaining batter I put in fridge and made again for dinner. They came out well after refrigeration too.

hai friends
i have suggested in my earlier post ,giving idly with soup for your kid's BF / dinner avoiding sugar or milk . Coz you already bottle feed him/her twice daily ,so have an oppurtunity in feeding veggies to your child in the morning and for dinner.Here is my recipie for the vegetable soup.
Ingrediants :

1-2 small pieces in each vegetable or Combination(s) of one or more of the listed below veggies :
Carrot
Peas
Red / White pumpkin
Marrow gaurd
Bottle gaurd
A leaf of cabage
Cauliflower
French beans
Potato / moong dhal (2 tblspoon)
Zucchinni
A wedge of tomato
Ginger - 1/4th inch
Garlic pod - 1 small
Method :
1 ) Pressure cook 1-2 small pieces in each vegetable or Combination(s) of one or more of the listed vegetables with some water, salt , garlic,ginger ,tomato and onion.
2) Once cooked open the lid , take away the ginger, garlic and onion as its syrup would have now been added to the veg. soup water which is enough for kids.
3 ) Now grind the vegetables, make a paste and add water according to the required consistency.
4) For kids more than a year , you can add 1 drop of lemon and pinch of peper to add more taste.
5) No need to stain the soup after grinding as it contains full of fiber.
6) You can feed idly , dosai ( for 1 year old and above -for it will be easy for them to chew ) with this soup - you have now added veg. to your kid's menu.
7) Once the kid is 9 months and above encourage him/her to chew and eat pressure cooked vegetables ,under elderly supervision ,instead of giving raw carrot and apple.
8) Initially your kid may waste all most 95% of what you give in a bowl , and may have a habbit of pick n eat from the floor . Leave him ,since this is the God given learning method for him and he will be quite satisfied if he feed himself atleast 1/2 a spoon out of 5 spoons what you give. Later after half an hour , you can feed him on your hand so that he dont feel hungry.
Now you can see your kid is interested in eating rather than resisting the food.
Try and get back to me.
