Quick Breakfast Recipes: 7 Instant Breakfast Options From Across India

It is rightly said – ‘eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and supper like a pauper’. This essentially means that breakfast is the most important of all meals, something that prepares us for the long day ahead. It goes without saying that it should be healthy and nutritious to keep us energised throughout the day and stay focused. But not everyone is a morning person and may not feel up to the task of cooking something just after waking up. On such days, don’t you wish there was a way to whip up something nice without slogging in the kitchen?

Breakfast isn’t about fulfilling yourself with just anything; it is about eating mindfully and loading up the body with as many vital nutrients as possible. So, how do you achieve that? Thankfully, there are various options available in the Indian cuisine. One of the benefits of the spectacular co-existence of various cultures is that people in one region can borrow recipes from the other and relish new flavours every once in a while.

Consider a person from Maharashtra enjoying a dish from Tamil Nadu and another person from South India gushing about a recipe from Punjab. Isn’t that exciting?

Here are a few options that we can all try when we either feel too tired or bored to try the usual breakfast options. And the best part is, each of these dishes are quick and easy to make. Take a look.
