Every day, every morning, all of us are annoyed at one single question which is -What to have for our breakfast? We believe if we can answer this question easily, there is nothing difficult ahead in your day because what to have for breakfast is this much difficult to decide upon. While we sometimes agree on fancy breakfast items like pancakes, bruschettas, and cereal; other days we are surely back to our desi Indian breakfast items including yummy-licious paranthas, upma full of veggies, and puffed poha in yellow mellow.

Hence, the food cravings for Indian breakfast items are never-ending and we admit that whatever we have for our breakfast, the stomach-filling and a satisfying item is just a parantha. So, apart from our most favourite aloo-parantha, there are many other food items we should try in the morning, the list is below!
