Lunch Box Dishes (Elders)
Breakfasts (International or Indian)
No Refined Sugar or Refined Flour (only baked or typical dishes that are made with alternatives)
No Onion No Garlic
Whole Grain

I chose to do the International Breakfast theme and this time I didn’t post the dishes randomly but followed the alphabet and also tried not to repeat the country. Overall a challenging task but feel really great as I got to discover so many different breakfast dishes from world over.

I noticed that eggs are commonly consumed for breakfast in many countries. It can be in the form of omelettes, scrambled, fried, boiled or even as a soup.

While many Asian countries have rice, egg is added to quite a few dishes.

Pancakes too have eggs.

The other common breakfast from different countries is porridge. The grains used to make the porridge ranges from millet to rice to oats.

If its not eggs and porridge then the other most common breakfast ingredient is some form of bread. Either baked at home or ready made.

Finally, I simply love all sorts of pancakes, I took a liking to khabees, got a new idea on how to use up leftover roti parathas or naan and make masoub. English breakfast needs a bit of organizing so you get all the components of the dish hot. Zege and Lahooh turned out to be hubby’s favorite. Finally, finally I tried my hands at idiyappam and its so easy to make.
