Breakfast, meaning ‘breaking the fast’ is considered worldwide as the most important meal of the day. After a long period of resting, the body’s blood sugar needs a jumpstart and by consuming a wholesome breakfast, we provide our bodies with right amount of energy and nutrients for pursuing the activities for the day. It is important that we try and avoid eating processed or ready to make foods that are available in the market. A good and healthy breakfast meal can make or break your day.
Indian Breakfast can be sweet or savoury, hot or cold depending on the region and the type of food that each region grows. In the north, wheat is a predominant grain while in the south rice is the grain of choice. This isn’t one breakfast item that defines India because each region has its own specialties. Some breakfasts are quick to make and some need preparation but Indians have always believed in making breakfast fresh and hot to have a great start to the day. Most of us are used to eating a breakfast as a stand-alone dish but with the nutrition being an important factor, we need take it upon ourselves to make breakfast a complete meal to have a brilliant start to the day.
So here’s a comprehensive collection of breakfast meal plates that we have created covering the length and breadth of India.
