My breakfasts all are express and very easy to make be it puttu or upma or semiya or poha all i make with 15-20 mts because mornings are a rush for me!! juggling with 2 kiddos, packing the lunch box for hubby, breakfasts, lunch preparations….. goes on my list of things i do in the mornings… i try to keep breakfast preparation time as short as possible so that i can make other things also..

here is one of my breakfast recipe Semiya with both my kiddos like and is easy to make

3 cups milk
2 cups thin semiya or sevaiya
5 tbps sugar
1 pinch salt
3 cardamon pods/elaichi

• Boil the milk and add elaichi to it
• mean which boil the semiya separately
• when thr semiya is cooked add it to the milk
• then add the salt and sugar to it.
• Bring it to boil for few mts and your break fast is ready!

this is a very very easy break fast i make if im late!! i think this takes hardly 15 mts to make! well next time i make this im going to track down my time! LOL!!!

this is how i make it

1/4 tsp mustard seeds
1/2 tbsp finely chopped ginger
2 tbsp chopped onions
11/2 cups rava/sooji/semolina
11/2 cups water

Roast the sooji till its light brown. Don’t get it overly roasted or else the upma wont taste the same! Keep it aside. In a kadai all the mustard seeds, when it splutters add the ginger, when its brown add the chopped onions. When the onions are transparent add the water. Bring it to a boil then add the sooji little by little and keep on stirring it. Close the lid and let it cook for 3-4 mts.

You breakfast is ready! This is my entry for the Express breakfast hosted by The Singing Chef.

I made Idli and dosa for break fast today and Sambar and green coconut chutny to go with it.

I and my hubbyjaan likes dosas and both the kiddos prefer idlis.. sign..!! anyways i always have to make 2 dishes at home..

Here is my idli and dosa recipe.. i make the same batter for both.

• Urad daal/Uzhunnu parippu – 3/4th cup
• parboiled rice – 1 cup
• methi/fenugreek seeds – 1 tsp
• salt to taste

Soak all of them together for about 8-10hrs. And then grind into a fine paste adding water.

Keep the batter overnight.

Add salt in the morning.

If you want to make dosas – spread the batter on a tawa or griddle like a thin big pancake.

If you want to make idlis pour into idli pans and steam it up!

Both my idlis and dosas come out good on the first day.. But how ever the second day the idlis are not as good as the first one! i have to find out how to make them perfect now!
