Every time I make this particular food for breakfast, I recall memories of my dad making this dish, whenever my sisters and I were hungry and mum was not home. It is a simple, quick dish that can be whipped up in no time. Its filling and has all the right flavors for a hearty breakfast.
Those of you, who have never tried it before, should definitely try to make this dish. You simply cannot go wrong. Every ingredient you need is already in your pantry. So there is no excuse not to try making this breakfast dish.
For this recipe you will need:
4 slices of bread cut into squares
2 whole eggs
half and onion chopped into pieces
1 tomato chopped into pieces
1 green chilli chopped

First beat the egg until it is mixed. Add in the chilli, onion and tomato.

In a pan, heat the oil and add in the bread mixture. Cook the mixture for 10 minutes. Sprinkle some salt on it before serving.
I usually eat this hot with some ketchup. Enjoy :)
This a traditional gujarati dish that is usually eaten with khicdhi (lentil rice). This recipe is easy to make and can be done in less than 30 mins for a quick meal with minimal ingredients and prep time. It is one of my husbands favourite dish and he swears by it. So lets get started on this easy indian dish.

few curry leaves
few clove and cinnamon sticks
1 teaspoon cumin seeds

1/4 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
Add in the yoghurt mixture and a pinch of turmeric powder. Keep mixing the everything at low flame.
When the mixture begins to boil add

Once the mixture becomes thick (about 10 minutes) its complete. Switch off the flame and serve with hot lentil rice. Enjoy :)
Eating plain rice can get tiresome after awhile. To make things a little interesting I attempted to make spinach rice. This idea is inspired from Trader Joes spinach rice. To my surprise it came out better than I expected.
Heres my recipe for this wonderfully flavored rice made in your rice cooker.
Ingredients:
For the rice,
2 cup rice
4 cup water
For the spinach mixture,
2 bunch of fresh spinach (washed and stems removed)
1 table spoon cumin seeds
salt to taste
1 cup vegetable broth
In a pan, saute the spinach till it wilts and reduces in size.
(Tip 1: Do NOT cover the pan or the green color will be lost)
Remove from heat and blend it into a fine paste. Mix it with 1 cup of vegetable broth.
In a rice cooker, add the spinach mixture, salt, cumin and the rice with 4 cups of water. Switch on the cooker.
Mix occasionally, to evenly distribute the color.
There you have it. Spinach rice in a few easy steps. Enjoy :)
