Happy Breakfasts

Happy Breakfasts is all about delicious breakfasts and my culinary musings on making smart, sustainable andinteresting morning meals. Decadent parathas and pancakes and delectable scones and stews share space with healthy paya andpesarattu. Traditional recipes like sheermal and Bakar Khani, much loved and even revered Belgian wafflesand blueberry muffins feature here in abundance. Unusual delicacies such as lentils with winter vegetablesand eggs (sabji wali dal aur anda), bread stuffed with greens (hare bhare parathe), amaranth porridge andeven a healthy pav bhaji, that work wonderfully well in the mornings, are my commitment to make all things,breakfast. Rare gems like black rice porridge are celebrated as is the sattu. Leftover Kerala chicken roast is transformedinto a sumptuous sandwich, rice from dinner made into a fun fried rice with eggs, and mince cooked earlierinto a wholesome filling for bread.The unique ridge gourd chutney to pair with idiappam, kefir milk smoothies to make the day just that bithealthy and an endless array of beautiful egg dishes to savour on special days-Happy Breakfasts is a tributeto my favourite meal of the day.Peppered with the recipes are, The Coucal's Call, Food for Thought, It Takes Two to Tango and, Nesting Dollsin My Kitchen, my thoughts on clever and conscious culinary practices. Happy Breakfasts is a collection ofrecipes and choices we must make - for beautiful homemade meals and memorable mornings.
