Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and I am sharing a few healthy dishes which are regular in my house including Oats Dosa!
I personally think (and its proven as well) that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. A good healthy and nutritious breakfast and half the problems are solved π So this Friday, let me focus on some yummy and nutritious breakfasts. Yeah yeah, you got it right. I am posting multiple recipes here, including that of oats dosa. There are so many recipes I want to post and so little Fridays π
Sprouts Dhokla
Sprouts is a food whose goodness has been emphasized on this blog too often π I love sprouts in any form and the fact, that they are yummilicous too, adds to it. Also, sprouts have a distinct flavor that suddenly gives any dish a pep up. I saw this sprouts dhokla recipe in one of the magazines (I think Food lovers) long long back and since then I have been making this at home quite often. Easy, yummy, healthy and low in calories. Can we ask for anything else ?
Green Oat Cakes
or in simple language pan fried oat cutlets π
Oats is such a healthy grain. I simply love it (at least in my mind, I think I should love it π ). But, no one my house even touches the oats porridge I make, however tasty I make it. I have tried to make it tastier by adding fruits, dry fruits, anything, yet everyone refuses to touch it. π
So I am on the constant lookout of Oats recipes. And when I stumbled upon this one, yes yes Nita Mehta’s book again (gosh I have fallen in love with her. Her recipes always always work) I was delighted and when I made it, the MNO household was delighted too. The servings for 4 was polished off by 2.5 of us in 10 minutes :D.
And while we are at oats, one of my favorite breakfasts. Oats dosa or crepe whatever you want to call it π
Oats Dosa
So what tell me what are your favorite breakfast recipes?
And on a side note, one item has been ticked in my wishlist. I got a Canon SX 200IS yesterday and I have been supremely happy till now. Hopefully, you guys will get better food pics now. For such a long time the only camera I had was my cellphone one.

Interesting breakfast ideas monika..
you know, during the 9 days fast that ended 2 days back, i was actually missing my breakfast.
I keep a stock of cornflakes mixed with muesli, dried fruits, nut, raisins & some kind of wheat puffs or balls and love having it with fresh fruits, dates etc in warm or cold milk.
Works well for the lazy bones that we are.. & for the days I feel charged up I open your blog to look for ideas so this post is gonna be important for me.

Hi, first time here. Yes we have both the blue plates and the white one too. Congrats on the camera. Incidentally I just had a sprout salad while reading this.
I am just not a morning person so breakfasts on the way to work are toast and fried eggs or yogurt and muesli. My wife and I go to coffee shops on weekends for breakfast. There are quite a few nice ones close by and that’s one part of the week that we look forward to

Hi…those were some nice recipe you’ve posted here. Since you know about chutney, you should also be knowing Sambar! Well, I’m running a contest for “Best Sambar” in my blog. If you have an interesting recipe, which will make my Sambar taste different (but it should be Sambar and Veg of course!) , please do post your link on my blog. No big prizes in offer, but a “Best Sambar” badge from me!
