There is no doubt that the Indian culinary tapestry is as diverse as its culture and it is nowhere more apparent than in the range of regional Indian breakfasts found around the country. Each region provides its own twist on the first meal of the day incorporating local ingredients, traditional recipes, and centuries-old techniques. If you are either a food lover eager to expand your taste bud experiences or someone who appreciates delicious meals, then HOGR app is all you need to explore these delightful breakfast traditions. Let us travel through India’s rich array of morning meals.
North: Hearty First Meals
In Northern India, breakfast is heavy duty fuel for a day full of hard work. One of my favourite dishes is Paratha which is a kind of flatbread that can be stuffed using different ingredients such as potatoes, paneer or radishes. Parathas usually come with butter dollops, yoghurt and a tangy pickle making them nice filling foods for breakfast.
Then there is Chole Bhature, another great dish from this region that combines spicy chickpea curry with deep-fried breads. The eatery has earned immense popularity in Punjab and Delhi due to its richness in taste as well as being hearty too. For an ultimate satisfying breakfast experience pair it with glassfuls of lassi, a common yoghourt-based drink.
South: Flavors Galore
Southern India boasts several traditional morning meals that are light yet tasty. Idli and Dosa are two iconic dishes that are famous beyond their regional boundaries. Idlis are steamed rice cakes which are soft and spongy when served with coconut chutney plus sambar; this spicy lentil soup brings out their true flavors.Dosas on the other hand tend to be thin crispy crepes made from fermented rice and dal batter commonly containing some spicy potato filling.
Uttapam represents another favourite that substitutes dosa and has thick pancake batter that is topped with vegetables such as onions, tomatoes and green chillies. With sambar and chutneys, it is a healthy meal.
East: Combination of Sweet & Salt
Breakfast traditions in Eastern India include an interesting combination of sweet and savoury foods. Luchi with Aloo Dum is a common dish in West Bengal. Luchis are deep fried bread made from refined flour eaten with the spicy potato curry. This combo remains popular throughout festivities.
For those who have a liking for sweets, try Chirer Pulao which is prepared by cooking beaten rice mixed with veggies, nuts as well as sugar to make it balanced in taste. In addition, Sandesh made out of fresh cheese and enjoyed alongside morning tea stands out as one of the lightest early morning treats.
West: Variable Textures
Western India offers different types of breakfasts for various tastes. Maharashtra’s Poha is the most common dish made using flattened rice which comes together nicely with onions, mustard seeds and curry leaves then garnished off with fresh coriander leaves along with a squeeze or two of lemon juice resulting in a light but filling meal that takes no time to prepare.
Another popular choice especially for people from Gujarat is Thepla; spiced flatbreads made from wheat flour mixed with fenugreek leaves usually eaten together with yoghurt/curd plus pickles on the side. However if you want to go for Misal Pav, you will be served farsan (crunchy snacks), onion and lemon atop bread rolls accompanying this hot curry prepared from sprouted lentils.
The Central: a Melange of Traditions
Madhya Pradesh, located in central India, is a place where different flavours from the surrounding areas can be seen. Poha is a widely liked dish here, often garnished with sev (crispy chickpea noodles) and accompanied by jalebi – a syrupy deep-fried sweet.
Bhutte Ka Kees is another local favourite made of grated corn cooked with milk, spices and a little ghee. This food is an indication of the agricultural richness in the region and its ingenuity in cooking.
