The initial question is: What is breakfast like in different countries?

I want to tell you something about breakfast in India. Although it is a country, our food preferences vary from state to state. Some breakfasts have become ubiquitous all over the country, but most dishes are still basically regional. Indians prefer hot freshly prepared breakfast to cereal or boxed/canned cold food. Some breakfasts can even be interchanged with lunch or dinner.

let's take a look at breakfast choices in this area.

Northern region:

Curry flour cake: a kind of flour cake filled with potatoes, which is delicious and served with pickles, tofu and green and sour sauce. As we all know, North Indians like Palata cakes very much. Full of butter, very spectacular.

Southern region:

Idli, Dosa and Medu Vada: This is a common phenomenon in five southern states. These three dishes are very popular all over India. These dishes have little effect on the stomach, but they can provide enough nutrition for the beginning of the day.

stew: this dish comes from Kerela. Soft cotton like Apraam and creamy vegetable/meat stew are healthy breakfasts.

Upma: the most popular breakfast food in India. Just like idlis and dosas, it also comes from South India and has many benefits. Coarse wheat flour used to make upma is rich in protein, vitamin B and iron. Adding vegetables to upma will make it more delicious and healthier.

western region:

Thepla: this is the ultimate food for Gujarat people. If you see a Gujarati on a trip, there is a 99% chance that he has plaas with him. Plas is a flat bread similar to a barbecue roll. The dough is seasoned with fenugreek leaves, salt, sugar and basic spices. If stored properly, they can be kept for two months.

Misal Pav: a favorite Maharashtra cuisine, which is made of potatoes, fresh spice sauce and bean sprouts. It goes best with pav (delicious bread) and is usually put on the breakfast table, but it can also make a simple meal.

Gujarat Farsan: This is basically a group of foods collectively called Farsan. They are usually eaten as snacks or breakfast, but they can also be used as side dishes for dinner. In my home, this is our typical Sunday breakfast. On Sunday, I will accompany my father to the Farsan store to buy all kinds of snacks. For a child, this was once the highlight of the week.
