Healthy Indian Breakfast Recipes

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, for you start your day after a good many hours of an empty stomach. It is important, therefore, that your breakfast be both, healthy and filling. You need the right nutrients to kick start your day, and encourage your body to begin to work on the right note. The Indian breakfast is one of the world’s healthiest options available. Here are a few good dishes to start your day with!
– Aloo parathas are simple and easy to make parathas stuffed with a potato filling that may or may not be spicy. All it takes is for you to mash a couple of boiled potatoes, add a few sprigs of fenugreek leaves, a dash of masala powder or pepper based on your preferences, and then roll it out along with wheat based dough for bread. Served with curd, pickle, ketchup, raitha or even eaten plain, this is one action packed way to start your day!
– Dosas are delicious dishes to start your day with. Made out of a batter made of rice and lentils, dosas are packed with nutrients to start your day. Eat it with a side dish of potato based gravy or coconut chutney.
– Idlies: Also made out of a rice and lentil based batter, idlies are useful ways to start your day if you suffer from indigestion issues, particularly acidity and heartburn. They are filling, wholesome and steamed, and are especially easy on the stomach.
– Upma, made out of rava, is a great breakfast option. Add to the mix vegetables and lentils, and you have a very enriched meal for the morning – filled with vitamins, proteins, carbohydrates and minerals aplenty. Variations of upma can include those crafted with vermicelli and even semiya.
– Poha or flattened rice flakes work well to add a great morning meal to your morning ablutions. Made with peas and vegetables, or even with jiggery and coconut, poha is a light but filling breakfast option.
– Sandwiches are the ubiquitous solution to beginning your morning. Multi grain or whole wheat bread as a base, along with tomatoes, potatoes, cucumber, carrot and peppers cut into slices can be a delicious way to start the morning. There are plenty of options when it comes to sandwiches, and all you need is a creative streak!
