I am sharing baby friendly chilla / pancake recipes. First you make it for the baby and then add spices accordingly for the adults portion. 😉 smart work. Always sit as a family to eat the same food.

Chillas were never my favorite so I never tried it for my baby. I noticed you added kitchen king masala...do we add these spices in foods for kids that small? But we could skip that too, right?
ReplyDeleteYes we can pinch

DeleteNeeta this is a simple, healthy and yummy recipe that you shared today. Thankfully these days 1.5 year old is showing interest in having Chilla. This is an ideal recipe not just for the kids but for people of any age especially during the winter months. Will definitely share this recipe with my Mommy friends as many times they are also confused what to make for the baby and family in breakfast.

DeleteWe prepare chillas more or less the same way but without beetroot. It seems perfect for babies. I agree with the non messy bit.
ReplyDeleteYep. Non messy food
