Indian Breakfast Recipes

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It is said that “Human Rights start with Breakfast”. Breakfast should be healthy and quick to make. It should give the energy required to carry on to the next meal of the day. And since morning hours are busy, except for weekends, it is important that the breakfast recipes are not too much time taking. Here is a collection of Indian Breakfast Recipes which are popularly made in most of the Indian households across the country.

Indian Breakfast Recipes can be categorized state wise as the food changes according to the place, for instance, Gujarati Breakfast recipes are very healthy breakfast recipes with a mix of flavors. Likewise, the breakfast changes when we go to the South or West and so on. Breakfast recipes from the South Indian cuisine are very popular be it idli, dosa, coconut chutney. Also, there are recipes which are super healthy, tasty, quick to make yet quite under-rated such as dibba roti. Likewise, a staple breakfast in lots of households in North India, especially in Punjab, particularly at my place is paratha 🙂 and therefore we have lots of paratha recipes put together here. Poori is also a common preparation for breakfast. There are a number of ways to serve poori. These can be served with dry sabzi such as jeera aloo or a tangy cum sweet pickle instant aam chunda.

Well, recently we have added a collection of chai recipes which has few simple ways to flavor your regular chai. Afterall chai is an indispensable part of an Indian Breakfast. You can check it here.

Hi! I am CA Vini Mehta. A Chartered Accountant by profession, a food blogger by passion! First of all, I would like to thank you for stopping by at Viniscookbook, I hope you have a good time. Here, yo...u will find the recipes which have been tried, at times re-tried in my kitchen and relished on the dining table. I am mother of two kids and the wife of a person with a high and selective taste sense, so basically anything, before finding its place on the blog, has many levels to cross and clear. This journey started a couple of years back. Before that I was making the most usual kind of food. The only experiment used to be asking my mother how to make something new or different☺. Then, one day, I tried a recipe for butter cookies. And they did not get to go in the container as they were over before I could store them. That day I was introduced to the joy of experimenting with recipes. And I loved everything else that followed especially garnishing and photographing food. I am still not well versed with the photography dos and don’ts but I love to experiment and learn, be it photography or cooking. Hope you too enjoy this journey as much as I do☺! Stay healthy, stay tuned!.
