How to make Breakfast time fun for kids
If the meal or breakfast is served in a creative way, kids will love to eat.
You do not have to be an artist to make all these. Make 2 carrot uttapams one bigger and 1 smaller one.
Use the bigger one for the face of the tiger cub.
Cut the smaller one into 2 halves and use it for the ears. 
Another small bit or triangle for the nose. That’s it!!!
I have used carrots and raisins for the eyes and capsicum for the mouth.(forgot to keep the whiskers-but that does not matter)
This is a great way to sneak vegetables into your kids diet. Instead of worrying that your kid is not having enough vegetables, try these tips and I guarantee you that it will work out. Have fun with your kids!!

Green chillies -finely chopped (omit for kids)

Method 

Heat a non stick or a cast iron tawa, when it is hot enough, reduce the flame to medium.

Pour a ladleful of batter and spread it in a circular motion. Uthappam should be thick and spongy, so do not spread too much.(refer picture above)

Drizzle a tsp of oil around the dosa. When holes start appearing on the top, sprinkle the onion+carrot +green chilli mix on the top of the uthappam. Keep the flame low and cover the uttapam if required.

Once the corners start lifting up, flip it over to the other side. Drizzle 1/2 tsp of oil around the uthappam. 

Once it is cook, remove from the tawa and serve hot with sambar or chutney.

    i put lot of other things inclding onion pieces,tomato pieces, capscum(different colors), some sauce etc so tht it becomes "dosa-pizza". I do not flip it over to avoid disturbing the vegetables etc. i wait for top portion to becoem dry and lift the dosa out and palce it in a plate just as you do it for pixxxa.
