While we know that you love to have your Bread-Omelettes or Peanut-buttered toast for breakfast, it is always good to deviate from the routine. Though a bowl of cereal provides for an efficient breakfast when you are haplessly rushing for work, it isn't the most delicious or satisfying. Many of you are well aware of the staggering diversity of cultures that live in our nation. Food, hence, becomes an important aspect binding the people of the country together. From the farmlands of Bihar to the snow-capped mountains of Himachal and even the lush greens of Andhra Pradesh, here is a list of breakfast items from all across India that you need to get a plate of before leaving for work every morning.
Luchi with Dry Aloo Torkari, West Bengal
The breakfast of champions from West Bengal captures imaginations with its array of flavours. The dry aloo torkari dish along with the fresh, puffy, crunchy, melt-in-your-mouth delicious luchis make this Bengali dish one to keep coming back for.
Jalebis, Uttar Pradesh
Though they might look pretzels, Jalebis have a soft corner in every North Indian&rsquos heart. Eat it warm or cold or for breakfast or as a dessert post-dinner, this diverse delicacy is one to treasure. Begin your day with flavorful optimism or end it with an unyielding smile &ndash all you need is a plate of Jalebis.
Siddu, Himachal Pradesh
I know all of you are familiar with the snow-capped Himalayas that run through Himachal or gorgeous layers of snow that make this state a paradise during winters and popular getaway during the summers. But, have you heard this traditional Himachali breakfast dish made from wheat flour stuffed with a mouth-watering combination of onions, chillies, coriander, and poppy seeds. Known as Siddu, this dish from the mountains should be had with ghee and green chutney.
Chole Bhature, Delhi/Punjab
As Delhi/Punjabi as one could get, Chole Bhature dominates the landscape of the national capital. Bhaturas as light as a feather along with chole cooked in traditional Indian rustic spices make up for an absolutely mind-boggling meal.
Methi Thepla, Gujarat
Ask any Gujarati the importance of a Thepla and just watch them praise it endlessly. A breakfast, lunch, and a tea item, Theplas are made from a mixture of whole wheat flour and fenugreek leaves eaten with tangy mango pickle.
Thalipeeth, Maharashtra
I know when you think of Maharashtra the first thought that comes to your mind is Sabudana Khichdi and vada. It&rsquos time to change that and have a nutrient-rich plate of Maharashtrian special Thalipeeth. Made from multi-grain flour, it includes a variety of spices, rice, and tapioca.
Pesarattu Upma, Andhra Pradesh
Unique, satisfying, and wholesome come to mind when I think of this extraordinary dish from Andhra Pradesh. A fine amalgamation of two South Indian dishes &ndash the lentil dosa and semolina upma &ndash the innovative Pesarattu Upma is a cherished gem of the state.
Puttu, Kerala
Utilising the two ingredients that are a favourite of all Keralites &ndash rice and coconut &ndash the puttu is traditionally steamed inside a bamboo stalk. Looking similar to a rice cake, puttu is a delightful combination of rice flour and grated coconut which can be paired with an abundance of items such as a fish, chicken or egg curry.
