Vegetarian omelette for babies

Ingredients:
1 small Onion
1 small tomato
2 cloves garlic
1 pinch grated ginger
2 tbsp cleaned and chopped methi leaves
2 tbsp cleaned and chopped coriander leaves
1/8 tsp Asafotida (Hing) powder
1/4 tsp Turmeric powder
1tbsp mung dal flour
1 tbsp Nachni flour
1 tbsp Bajra flour
1 tbsp jowar flour
1 tbsp rice flour
Butter Milk or water
Salt to taste
Ghee for cooking
Chop the onions and tomatoes into fine cubes. Pound the garlic into a fine paste along with the grated ginger. Put all this into a bowl with the methi and coriander leaves and sprinkle the hing and haldi on it. Add all the flours. Mix it. Add enough buttermilk or water to form a dosa-like batter.
Heat a frying pan and spread some ghee on it. Pour out some batter on the hot pan and spread it into the desired shape with a spoon. Cover it and leave for a few minutes till the underside is brown. Uncover and flip over. Take off the pan when there are brown flecks on the other side.
Serve with fresh butter or curds.
Tip: Use whatever flour you have. We have these flour at home most of the times to make rotis. Feel free to use makai ka aata or any other whole grain flour.
You can add any other vegetables such as chopped palak leaves, grated carrot or doodhi or pumpkin as well.
