Deep Dive

You don’t have to be a high-level chef to start your day with a great breakfast. You may be a beginner, but it doesn’t mean you have to spend hours in the kitchen trying to prepare breakfast. Whether you are a student staying away from home, a busy professional, or someone just getting started with the cooking journey, breakfast is the best place to begin. It’s one of the most important meals of the day, and also the easiest one to master. With time, you will find yourself mastering your breakfast preparation skills. From yoghurt parfait to Poha, here are some quick recipes that you can make for breakfast. 

1. Yoghurt Parfait

This no-cook breakfast feels like a treat but works like a powerhouse. A yoghurt parfait layers creamy Greek yoghurt with fresh fruits, crunchy granola, and a handful of nuts for texture and nutrition. You can also soak oats or chia seeds overnight and add them in for extra fibre and sustained energy. For an extra protein boost, stir in a scoop of protein powder. The yoghurt brings gut-friendly probiotics, while the fruits and seeds provide antioxidants, fibre, and healthy fats. Perfect for rushed mornings, this light yet filling combo keeps you energised and supports digestion too.

2. Avocado Toast

Sure, it’s Instagram-famous, but avocado toast earns its fame for good reason. Beyond just the classic mashed avocado with lemon and chilli flakes, there are endless ways to enjoy this fibre and potassium-rich fruit. Slice it neatly, mash it with soft-boiled eggs, spread it with guacamole, or mix it with hung curd and drizzle some chilli oil on top for a desi twist. Whether you top it with feta, tomatoes, or microgreens, it’s endlessly customisable and packed with heart-healthy fats that fuel your morning. Quick, versatile, and anything but boring.

3. Breakfast Wraps

There’s so much more to breakfast wraps than just roti and scrambled eggs. Think sautéed mushrooms with cheese, paneer with mint chutney, hummus with grilled veggies, or even leftover sabzi rolled up with some pickle. Whether you’re using a tortilla, paratha, or plain roti, these hand-held wraps are endlessly customisable. Add eggs, sprouts, spiced potatoes, or even a smear of hung curd and chilli sauce, the options are deliciously flexible. High in protein and fibre, they’re perfect for when you need a nutritious, portable breakfast that doesn’t skimp on flavour or fun.

4. Poha

This Maharashtrian and central Indian favourite is light and yet sustaining. Poha, made from flattened rice, is a light spiced breakfast staple across India. These flattened rice or parched rice are considered to be nutritious and wholesome. Due to its flatness, it’s quick to prepare, high in iron, and easy on digestion. When combined with peanuts and veggies, it becomes a balanced meal that’s satisfying, energising and perfect for folks who love something savoury and warm. It’s especially ideal for those mornings when you need something gentle yet energising sustenance.

5. Rava Uttapam

An offshoot of South Indian kitchens is the quick-fix variety of the traditional dosa. This instant South Indian savoury pancake, prepared using semolina (rava), curd and vegetables, is simple yet filling. It is not only easy to make but also takes less time. Its texture is soft like a pancake, and savoury toppings of onions, tomatoes, and green chillies give it a satisfying bite. It’s also low in fat, easy to digest and packed with fibre. The crispy edges and soft centre filled with fresh veggies make it perfect for those of us who want something warm, savoury and filling, without all the prep work.

6. Scrambled Eggs

Scrambled eggs are a classic for a reason; they are quick, comforting, and endlessly customisable. While they are soft, buttery, and protein-packed at their core, the fun lies in the add-ons. Toss in some spinach, mushrooms, or tomatoes for a healthy twist, or go bold with chilli oil, sriracha, or even crushed potato chips for crunch. Ketchup for the nostalgic, cheese for the indulgent, or herbs for freshness, there is no wrong way to scramble. Much like Maggi, everyone has their own favourite version. Ready in 5 minutes and full of muscle-fuelling protein, it’s a go-to breakfast (or midnight snack) that never gets boring.

7. Bread Upma

Bread upma is a resourceful comfort food, born from Indian households needing to repurpose leftover bread.  It’s a smart way to use up leftover bread while creating a wholesome and satisfying breakfast in just minutes. Bread upma is a spicy, tangy and delicious upma variation prepared with onions, tomatoes, green chillies and aromatic spices. It’s fast to prepare, satisfying, and remarkably wholesome. It transforms ordinary pantry staples into a warm, filling meal; the perfect thing for a morning when you need something quick. It’s packed with flavour and a touch of reminiscence that offers you carbs, fibre, and all the warmth you need on mornings when you crave something hearty but not that fussy.

 Start Simple, Stay Consistent

Breakfast doesn’t have to be fancy to be fulfilling. When you’re just starting in the kitchen, mastering a few easy recipes can still make a big difference in how your day begins. As you eventually start to get more comfortable, you’ll start experimenting around with flavours, adjusting ingredients to suit your taste preferences, and enjoying the process of cooking. So start simple, trust your instincts, and let breakfast be the first step in your kitchen journey. No fancy equipment, no expert skills, just simple ingredients and great taste.
