Tips by age

2-3y

Cook the dosa a little thinner so it is soft, then cut into short, thin strips that are easy to chew. Offer as an occasional treat since it contains jaggery.

Choking safety: Cut into thin strips rather than large rounds so it is easy to manage.

3-5y

Serve warm, torn or cut into strips or bite-size pieces. Keep portions modest because of the added jaggery.

5-8y

Serve as written, rolled or cut into wedges. A light spread of butter is fine if they enjoy it.
