Indian breakfasts are the best.

Idlis, with chutney / Podi / sambar/ anything else you prefer

Masala dose at Vidyarthi Bhavan #bengaluru

Chow chow baath, for those who cannot make up their mind between sweet and savoury. It’s a portion of kaara bath and Rava kesari each.

This one at MTR #Bengaluru

Don’t mind the ghee.

My kingdom for poha.

I could eat this for every single meal.

The mini meal breakfast is the happiest meal there is. A little bit of everything + a mini masala Dosa.

Chole bhature + lassi - 100% happiness, 0% guilt,

What’s better than poha? Poha with sev on top and jalebis on the side.

PC : @rananth

If poori aloo wasn’t enough, we also have a sweet called Imarti on the side.

Surnoli with amul butter, the best kind of pancake there is- from Konkani cuisine

PC: @SulbhaArora

Surnolis from the Konkan Saraswat Cookbook - I’m thinking it shouldn’t be allowed to brown like this, but I’m a newbie to making these! DELICIOUS nevertheless

Konkani cuisine has so many ways to eat poha (phov).
This one is Meet Mirsange Phov.

As someone who loves Gujarati food, I may be biased. But this cuisine has some truly amazing dishes that can be eaten for breakfast or as a snack.

For example- Khaman Dhokla

Handwo, another Gujarati specialty, mixed dals soaked and ground, made into a sort of delicious savoury cake with lots of sesame seeds on the crust
If you haven’t tasted this, you’re really missing out.
