Yes. As Indians and, particularly, as South Indians we’ve been raised to begin our day with food like idli, dosa, rice based foodstuff, roti and pulses, potatoes etc. But, those recipes are a lot of work and need prior prep. Also, they seem like they’re full of carbohydrates ( some good protein too, I agree). What breakfast ideas can I incorporate into my schedule if I have about 15 to 20 mins of prep time on my hands every morning?

Overnight Oats make a great breakfast. Tonnes of recipes online. Egg muffins, make a few and freeze them reheat in microwave for 1min. Great on toast with avocado. Toasties are good for a quick dinner too

I don’t know if you have much of a liking for eggs, but a scramble can be thrown together in about 5 minutes with any number of ingredients.

Make breakfast the night before so it’s ready to eat either at home or on the go. A smoothie bowl with seeds and banana or yogurt with toasted oatmeal, seeds and berry

I usually prepare an oats meal and keep it in the refrigerator from the night before. It’s fresh and ready to grab in the morning before going to work.

Best breakfast to eat when you are short on time is breakfast muffins. You can make them in batches and heat them in the morning. They have egg, tomatoes, zucchini,onion, cottage cheese, some kind of meat if you wish. Mix it all together and then cook for maybe 30 mins. Yumm and very filling

As indians you are probably vegan. If you are not though i suggest just some scrambled eggs maybe on some toast or some porridge. That’s atleast what my people would eat here in estonia.

You could try having porridge paired with fruits. Otherwise, what you could do, is meal prep once a week and have your breakfast food pretty much ready and measured out, so when you wake up you just heat it up and eat, without having to prepare.

To be honest, I don’t eat much in the morning. I usually cut up an apple and dip it in peanut butter and sometimes I’ll make some oatmeal.

I myself am East Indian and while I do enjoy my sada and aloo. Sometimes it’s not feasible to make in the mornings. I do however have them for dinner at nights. Most times I have leftovers for the next day. So I just reheat and put together and its done in less than five minutes. But if you want to incorporate the protein then you can simply substitute the carbohydrates and switch it for protein. 20 minutes in the morning is not a lot of time to make a big breakfast. So I prep the night before as it’s easier on me when I’m on the move for work.

Yoghurt and some fruits with nuts will give you the energy until you have your lunch or even more further more it will save time for you to do some extra work
