Upma 

Upma is another such nutritious bowl packed with goodness. To make this, you have to roast suji or rava, add some chopped vegetables like carrots and peas to it, basic Indian spices, and a squeeze of lemon. If you want to save time, you can keep a mixture of roasted suji with spices and vegetables prepared beforehand, which will last for a week if packed in an airtight container. All you need to do is add hot water to it and eat it comfortably in a bowl. The best part is, you can also carry the mixture in your tiffin box, add hot water to it, rest it for some time, and enjoy it in your office as well, just like cup noodles, you have a cup of upma! Such cooking tips and tricks will make sure you are not hungry in the morning, and have nutrition without spending hours in the kitchen. 

Idli-Sambar Bowl

No breakfast beats the comfort of South Indian idli and sambar! This one bowl is packed with nutrition; idlis give you the healthy carbs, while sambar makes sure your protein intake is complete.  Keep the idli batter and sambar ready the previous night, and steam idlis and reheat the sambar for a comforting one-bowl breakfast. This breakfast will be ready by the time you dress up and start your day on a delicious note. If you want to pack it, all you have to do is simmer the sambar for some time and let it thicken, so that it does not spill. Or you can always replace sambar with coconut chutney, and you will not be disappointed. 

Millet Porridge

If you want a savoury one that can be made too with buttermilk, some spices and green chillies. Both versions taste delicious and are good for gut health. Millets also have fibre, iron, anda good carbs that keep you full for longer without making you sluggish.
