You are somewhere in a wonderland, happily roaming here and there, and suddenly you hear an annoying sound, and guess what? It’s your alarm; welcome to the real world, buddy! You jump out of bed, terrified. You’re late and rushing to make up for a lost time. You do everything possible to get out of the house as soon as possible. And yet again, you’ve skipped breakfast.
Can you relate to this? We know as its Ghar Ghar Ki Kahaani!
Breakfast is the main meal of the day, and for a good reason. It is the first meal that “breaks” the overnight “fast.” Breakfast gives your body and mind the energy required to begin the day. Eating breakfast also improves brain function, attention span, concentration, and memory, reducing irritability and fatigue. We know you know everything, but breakfast is frequently overlooked in the rush to wake up and get the day started.
Breakfast should ideally provide 20-25% of your daily nutritional requirements. When you skip it, you will inevitably grab an over-caffeinated drink, a croissant, or a sugar-loaded item. Remember, it’s not just about eating breakfast, but about eating a healthy and balanced breakfast that includes all food groups.
Here is a list of quick and instant breakfast recipes for your rescue!
1. Corn Potato
A perfect recipe for early mornings, you just need to grate a potato, add salt, cornflour, red chilli powder, and frozen corn. Mix it, and adjust the consistency with a spoon of water. Now, just take a pan, add little butter, and spread the mixture. Roast it on a medium flame; as soon as it turns golden, flip to the other side and roast it with a bit of butter. That’s it; your breakfast is ready.
2. Whole Wheat Pancakes
Who doesn’t love pancakes? Try this healthier version; in a bowl, take a cup of whole wheat flour, add 1 egg, a tsp of vanilla essence, ¼ cup of sugar (optional), a cup of milk, and whisk to form a smooth batter. Now take a pan, add butter, and spread it on the pan. Now add 1 ladleful of batter to the pan and lay it in a circular motion. Roast on both sides. Tadaa! Grab the pancakes; it’s all yours.
3. Anda Pav
Our go-to breakfast; in a pan, add butter, add chopped onions, chopped capsicum, and coriander. Add salt and red chilli powder, and a beaten egg to the pan. After two mins of roasting, scramble it. Your egg stuffing is ready. Take a pav, cut it in half, stuff the egg mixture, and enjoy this dish with garam Chai.
4. Corn Appe
Grind the sweet corn, green chilli, and ginger into a coarse paste. Combine the semolina, soda, coriander, and salt in a mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly. If necessary, add 1-2 tbsp water to make a batter. Add 2-3 drops of oil to each slot in an appe pan. Fill each slot 3/4 full with corn-semolina batter. Cook until one side is golden brown. Turnover and cook on the other side as well. Serve it with tomato ketchup.
