Just like God , Poha is omni present in all indian cuisine.  Gujarati’s call it Punva, it is called Aval / Avallaki in tamail , malayalam and karnataka. Poya in Marwari and Chiura in Central and Eastern India.  And why not ? It is one of the most healthiest Indian breakfast.

Recipe – Buy some dosa batter. Make sure you check the expiry date on the packet. Depending on the number of people you need to serve, take some batter and add some water to dilute it to some extent (since dosa batter comes in highly concentrated form). Add some salt to the diluted batter. Taste the level of saltiness to check if it suits you. Chop onions, cucumber, tomatoes, capsicum, green chilies, and curry leaves into very small pieces.

Now heat oil in a non-stick frying pan. Take some dosa batter in a big round serving spoon and pour it on the heated oil in the frying pan in a circular fashion so as to create a round paratha-type shape. Pour some of the chopped veggies on the cheela on the pan in an even way and fry both the sides till the cheela gets properly cooked. Serve hot with chutney. For preparing the chutney, grind fried chana dal with raw ginger and a red chili in your mixer-grinder. Add salt to the paste.

Now add water and salt and mix everything together so as to form a dough. Make parathas out of this dough. Heat oil in a frying pan and fry the parathas and serve hot with curd and green chutney .

Remove only when you are sure that the egg and the paratha are properly cooked. Serve hot with a carrot-cucumber-beet salad.

Recipe – Roti sabzi has been a typical breakfast menu in most households and almost across all states. Chop veggies such as pumpkin, cauliflower, eggplant, beans, radish, and potato into medium sized pieces. Heat mustard oil in a kadai and add 2 split green chilies. Next, add a few kalanji (kala jeera or onion seeds). Once you get an aroma, add the chopped veggies. If you wish , you can add green peas as well. Stir well and fry the veggies for 3-4 minutes. Add water and allow it to boil.

Approximately, the veggies will take 25 minutes to get properly boiled. You may wish to thicken the gravy or you may keep it a bit light as well. Check the salt content. Before removing, add finely chopped coriander leaves. Remove from heat. A sabzi that contains the nutritional value of multiple veggies is ready. Make sure you consume atta rotis to make your breakfast optimally healthy.

  • Sali Par Edu:

Sali Par Edu is a popular Parsi recipe that reinforces the Parsi-egg connection. it simply is eggs on boiled potato.

Add in the Sali (fine grated potatoes that are pre-boiled and deep-fried) and mix well. Next, whisk eggs in another bowl and pour them into the mixture. Cook for 3 minutes and flatten the mixture. Add some water to the mixture and close the pan with a lid. Allow it to cook. The eggs may tend to accumulate at the center. Just move the pan to allow the egg to spread evenly throughout the pan.

Add 2 tablespoon oil in the same kadai and add mustard seeds. Now add chopped onions, green chilies, and grated ginger and sauté for 2 minutes till the onion turns brown. Next, add chopped carrot, capsicum, tomatoes, and green peas. Sauté for another 2 minutes. Next, add water and allow the mixture to boil. When the veggies are cooked, add the roasted suji and stir constantly to prevent the formation of lumps. Cover the kadai with a lid and cook on low flame for 3-4 minutes. Stir sometimes.

Many people complain that Indian foods are calorie-laden and hence, unhealthy. However, the fact remains that most people do not have much time to allocate for processes that demand concentration, time and commitment. And they automatically switch to “healthy” oats, bread-butter-jam, boiled eggs, or even ‘extremely healthy’, celebrity-endorsed masala oats. I would suggest that try these healthy Indian breakfast recipes  during holidays and weekends and enjoy quality family time while respecting your roots.

    Hi Payal…

    As always … pleasure to read your blog. I was preoccupied with many things and hence coulnot read your recent blogs…Many people tend to ignore the importance of morning breakfast…hope this will help them to rectify…
    While preparing Seviyaaan..I add half teaspoon turmeric for nice colour and a dash of lime …which will enhance the taste.I must try your Pohanume.It is new and different…In Uttapam …I add half a teaspoon of turmeric and some karuveppilai.In methi la Paratha also I add turmeric, asafoetida and a dash of chilly powder with a TB spoon of ghee.

    We can also make Godumai rava upma ie wheat rava upma. And vendaya dosai.

    How is the little one?

    Thanks

    Usha.
