Vegetable Rosti

 Quick breakfast for a weekend - perfect bite size pieces for tiny fingers to grab. I sauted the veggies first (only so it's easier for the baby). In a shallow pan, add oil, finely chopped red onion, red bell pepper, grated carrot and peas. Mash the peas roughly to avoid choking hazard. Remove in a bowl, add sooji, a bit of besan, yoghurt, salt, pepper, chopped cilantro, baking powder and water. Heat oil in the same pan, and make small pancakes, cover and cook. Turn, leave the pan open, and cook on the other side. Cut up into bite size pieces and serve on a high chair tray :-)  Original recipe here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoEOcWTM8go&t=360s
