            Kochuri /puri with aloo sabji/dal is a preferable breakfast recipe in daily life. However, the sunday special luchi- aloor dam, winter special koraisutir kochuri or some parathas with dahi are yummy for the tummy. The mixture of cultures added a lot of new breakfast options in the plate. Now people choose healthy options such as oats, pancakes, juices, cereals, bread butter/jam, french toasts, poha and upma, sandwiches, chicken soups, etc. So, whether you are a healthy or unhealthy eater, you should always fill your tummy with a good breakfast meal to keep you energised for the entire day.
