1 Healthy Batter 3 Yummy Recipes – Kids Tiffin Recipes

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day which recharges the body to perform our daily activities. We all need to have breakfast including the kids. Usually kids sleep for 8-10 hours at night, so they need to refill their bodies with solid nutrition once they get up.

Protein, essential vitamins and minerals are all that they need to have in the food during their growing years. But as a mother the major task for us is creating healthy yet delicious kids tiffin recipes.

I try to give my best while adding a variety of foods to my daughter’s diet. And I have to make sure that the food is healthy and provides all the necessary nutrients to my child.

One of such healthy and tasty recipes is this multigrain dosa. And I can make 3 different dishes with a single batter hence my breakfast schedule is sorted a bit.
