Idli Sandwich Dessert

Idli sandwich dessert

Kids often get bored and do not want to eat the same old, plain but healthy stuff. A little effort to reinvent the thing might just be the motivation that the child needs to eat the same dish. Here we have converted regular idlis to sweet, sandwiched dessert which looks nothing like its original.

 

Ingredients

Ready idlis

Mixed fruit jam (or any flavour that your child likes)

Icing sugar /chocolate powder

Recipe

Cut the idlis into halves horizontally.

Apply jam on one half of the idlis.

Cover with the other half to form sandwiches.

Cut into halves and sprinkle with icing sugar or chocolate powder.

Tip: You may also use chocolate syrup or nutella in place of jam.
