When kids refuse to eat veggies, one of the best ways is to hide / mask it in other dishes!And this Crispy Carrot Dosa Recipe fits the bill perfectly!
I have been doing this masking business a lot for the Lil one who detests vegetables but this one he ate without complaint as he loves carrots and it is the only vegetable [apart from potato] he eats willingly!
This recipe was bookmarked from Jinoo’s Kitchen and wanted to make it when she posted it long back. Finally made it from this Mega BM where I have chosen Flatbreads as the theme for Week 2.
This dosa does not taste sweet due to the addition of Carrots because we are adding ginger to balance the flavors.
I served this with Sambar, Madurai Special Thanni Chutney , mint podi followed by piping hot filter coffee.
Madurai Special Thanni [watery] chutney is a super delicious chutney that is served in the eateries in MAdurai, the temple town in Tamil Nadu.
This chutney makes use of shallots which add a special flavor to the chutney. Surprisingly, the raw flavor can never be felt! It tastes so good with Idli , Dosa / Uthappam varieties.
Lets see how to prepare this super simple Crispy Carrot Dosa Recipe
- 2 cup Dosa Batter

The dosa looks colorful and the additions would be adding a lot of flavor too!
Very crisp dosa ! PJ , I would never think of adding carrots and ginger to the dosa . I have seen it in rawa dosa and schezwan dosa , and I always pick it out like a kid ! Blending it with the batter is a great idea , gives a great colour too .
Wonderful pick and theme !
The dosas are colorful and the carrot adds nutrition too. Grinding the carrots is a neat idea with fussy kids.
Surely a colourful dosa and not to mention healthy with carrots added. Very innovative way to get the kiddo to eat. I must try these methods too..:)
Very colorful platter with mouthwatering dosas. My kids have always been carrot eaters so never thought of grinding it up in the batter. I do that with other veggies though 🙂 I wonder what that Madurai thanni chutney is all about.
Such a colorful and healthy dosa with carrots. I too make carrot dosa by using carrot puree. This looks so inviting.
I totally agree dosa and parathas are the best way to hide veggies. This is so good.
