Idli sambar for babies and toddlers

Idli is the best food you can give your babies as it is easily digestible. It is rich in carbs, proteins and fibre. It is the best nutritious breakfast you can feed your babies.
 Here is a simple Moong dhal sambar recipe that goes well with idli. This does not have tamarind like the regular sambar we prepare. I have used only onion and tomato in this sambar but ,you can add finely chopped ,mixed vegetables like carrot,beans, pumpkin etc to this. The same recipe can also be followed with toor dhal.

Ingredients:

• Cooked Moong dhal-1 cup
• Onion-1
• Tomato-1
• Curry leaves- a few
• Green chilly-1 ( optional)
• Sambar powder-1 spoon or as needed
• Water-2 cups
• Salt 
• Ghee -2 tsp
• Mustard seeds-1 tsp
• Cumin-1 tsp
• Fenugreek-1/2 tsp
• Asafoteda - a pinch

Preparation :

• Chop the onions and tomato. Cook Moong dhal until it's mushy.
• In a pan,heat ghee and add the mustard, cumin and fenugreek. Add asafoteda.
• Add curry leaves and chopped onions and saute for few seconds. Add the slit green chilly.
• Add the Tomato and saute.
• Add salt and sambar powder to this and mix well.
• Once the Tomato is cooked add the mashed dhal and water and mix well.
• Let it boil for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Serve with idlis.
