Idli, dosa and chutni or sambhar is the most preferred breakfast to me. Since it keeps me full till afternoon.


Whatever may be the ingredients of your breakfast , the important factor is not to skip it. Otherwise one will be a victim of many stomach related disorders



Breakfast should be filling and should not be skipped. If nothing else fruits should be consumed as breakfast.

The purpose of Breakfast is to break your fast, between your last meal in yesterday''s and the present morning. No matter what you take. But it should not be skipped.
That way our ancestors were wise and in Mangalore we have the age old custom of having Ganji or Konji which is boiled rice with water retained in it for breakfast along with vegetables or fish for breakfast.This was ideal when people had to do hard physical labor . Even today the working class prefers to have this rather than any other breakfast since it keeps them going for a long time to come.It makes sense that you eat a nutritious meal in the morning after having had your last meal meal may be 8 - 10 hours earlier the previous night !

Absolutely. We too call Ganji in Telugu . Ganji is the staple food for farmers. Along with it, he munches a red chilli and leaves for work. No tiredness or fatigue. It keeps them energetic until the lunch.
Sometimes at my home we will prepare kanji using ragi and wheat as a breakfast. It ill be a good filling and good for health also.

Yes kanji made out of rice is very energetic.
Yes, kanji is healthy breakfast option. For that matter even sattu (powdered gram) mixed with water and sugar can make a very healthy drink and keeps one full. It is preferred option during fasts. It has many health benefits too.

Luckily rural India has not fallen prey to the junk food. . In villages, still many healthy break fast habits are4 in existence. Anything solid that keeps you energetic all along the day is good.

Ragi mudde and rottis made out of a mixture of Ragi, semolina(rava) and corn flour is very nutritious and healthy.One can further enhance it by adding grated carrots,coriander leaves, onions, green chillies and any green leaves like methi and dil..I make it often for breakfast or for that matter it can be eaten any time of the day .

Raagi, we call it as CHOLLU is very much known as A poor man's nutritious food. We make a pasty preparation and also cakes like dosas with chillies added. Both are highly nutritious.

Yes we too make a sweet dish with raagi like a steamed pie where it is steamed and cut into squares. It has become quite expensive now since the production, apparently is very low..

Luckily for me, i get Ragi from the village fairs nearby Being from a peasant background, we still continue the habit of making "Ambali"a ragi preparation with butter milk.

Indigestion and stomach ulcers are also caused if one skips off Brakffast
Ulcer is becoming a serious problem for most of the people nowadays. :)
Ulcers form in the stomach due to attacking of digestive juices which help in digesting our food. These juices are acidic in nature. When we take food, these digestive juices work vigorously and see that the food is digested. It means when there is food in your stomach, you are providing something for the digestive juices. And they do not do any harm to the stomach. Now imagine, if there is no food in the stomach the digestive juices will attack the stomach leading to formation of ulcers. That's why we should take breakfast without failing.
Nice explanation sir. Thank you. I will always insist my friends that atleast have some fruits, if they had no time to take break fast.

Something you must eat in the morning in order to escape from the frustrating stomach disorders.

Ragi is readily available in most stores and retail stores like Dmart etc...and is one of the best food kids,..ragi khidchi..is what I used to give my baby and we have it too mixed in dosa and idli batter.

I have village fairs nearby. Village farmers sell Ragi for a throwaway price. I use it for making different delicacies .
