Breakfast/Brunch
Besan ka Cheela (Gram Flour Savory Pancake Recipe)
As far as pancakes and crepes go, besan ka cheela is one of my favorites. It’s a high protein, high fibre savory pancake that tastes delicious while being easy to make. You can fill them like a classic wrap, with vegetables, or transform them into a snack by rolling them up and slice into bite-size pieces. They can even be served plain as flatbread with any curry. For a veggie omelet version add any greens or chopped vegetables to the batter. They are really satisfying and can be easily adapted to your tastes.
Kanchipuram Style Idli
These Kanchipuram Idlis are vegan, gluten-free, and make for a very balanced meal when served with sambar (vegetables and lentils in a sour gravy) and chutneys.
No Sugar Mango Blueberry Chia Pudding
This simple breakfast pudding is a great way to start enjoying the benefits of chia seeds. The seeds plump up overnight, creating a pudding like texture similar to tapioca pudding. It’s filling, delicious and a snap to prepare the night before.
Leftover Kedgeree Rice Pancakes
These leftover kedgeree pancakes are packed with rice, lentils, veggies and gluten free chapati flour. The recipe is pretty adaptable and offers soft, delicate and flavorful pancakes. They are filling and addictive topped with sun dried tomato pesto and fresh green salad.
Power Protein Granola (Oil Free & Date Sweetened)
Oats are a great source of nutrients and I love them but they contain a protein called avenin, to which some people are intolerant or even allergic. This led me to experiment with buckwheat and quinoa. This granola is delicious, crunchy, toasted, simple and easy and most important made with absolutely no oil and no sugar besides date paste. Plus, it’s rich in healthy carbs, protein and essential amino acids, your body needs to start the day.
Sprouted Mung Bean Breakfast Wrap/Frankie
Wraps are easy to make, healthy, flavorful and endlessly customizable. I used mung sprouts for the filling. They are an all-natural plant-based protein that is low in calories, low in fat and high in fiber. Mung sprouts can be eaten raw but for these wraps, they need to be cooked until soft. Their slightly sweet and nutty texture take on the flavor of whatever sauce and seasoning is used.
