What are the Best Breakfast Recipes in India?

 There is no denying the fact that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It helps the body with all the needed energy to go about in a day.  Just because we live in a constant rush, we often forget to pay attention to our breakfast and then grab anything which comes in handy, quickly relieving our hunger. Believe it, or not, a good breakfast can make or break your day. 

Remember that it is not just about stuffing your body, but also about eating mindfully to provide the body with all of the essential nutrients. So, if you’ve missed your healthy breakfast you shouldn’t make it up by gorging on buttery parathas or oily noodles to compensate for a poorly consumed morning meal. Breakfast is a body fuel that charges you up and keeps you going for the rest of the day. After a night of hibernation, our body needs a morning meal which works as a launch button that supplies energy to your system and keeps you pepped for the rest of the day.

A traditional western breakfast is generally loaded with bacon, eggs, pancakes, and sausages rich on the palate but stacked with many calories. In the recent past, there has been a surge in healthy breakfast options. People have become aware of the significance of good and wholesome breakfast in their diet plan. A homemade healthy breakfast has therefore gained a lot of popularity. So, now you can have healthier options on your breakfast table straight into your plate, from whole-wheat breads, oats pancakes to quinoa salads, and soy milk.

When it comes to nutrition, Indian food tops the charts. From wholesome upmas, filling dosas, feather-light idlis to peppy parathas, desi breakfast takes the cake. Here are a few Indian breakfast ideas:

• Stovetop Granola with Jaggery

Granola is nothing but a mixture of oats, nuts, and seeds. It is mostly prepared using honey, agave syrup, molasses, maple syrup, or even some liquid sweetener. But, you can try making granola using either date palm sugar, coconut palm sugar, or even just jaggery. This stovetop method is also much easier than the over baked method. If you’re using date palm sugar or karupati, it is better to use one teaspoon of vanilla extract to mask the smell.

• Oats Idli

You can experience the goodness of feather-light idlis made with healthy oats. Idli is a popular South Indian breakfast option which you can relish in any course of your meal. From breakfast to dinner, idli acts as a light food and tastes best when paired with chutney and sambar. Just light up your boring mornings with easy to cook and extremely healthy low-calorie oats idli.

• Methi Ka Thepla

Thepla is known as a soft Indian flatbread that is an all-time Gujarati hit meal. You can easily prepare this food at home. You can also prepare this as a breakfast or as a side dish for lunch. Just team it with accompaniments of your choice and get your day going.

• Rawa Upma

Rawa upma is nothing but suji upma being cooked with fresh vegetables, spices, lentils, aromatic nuts, and curry leaves. It is a South Indian delicacy which with an addition of grated coconut at the top, makes for an impeccable morning meal.
