Paratha: Paratha is the signature breakfast item from the North, famous in ย Punjab and Delhi, this dish is available in the entire country however this tastes the best in Punjab.

Khaman Dhokla: These areย Kumbh ke mele mein bichde hue bhai who finally met in Gujarat.ย Made from gram flour Khaman and Dhokla are the famous breakfast items in Gujarat. Khaman, or nylon Dhokla as it is called in Gujarat is a bit wet compared to the Dhokla. Served with a sweet-tangy kadhi and green chilly this will surely ruffle your taste buds.

Missal Pav: This is one of my favorite break fast items. A signature dish from Kolhapur, Pune and entire Maharashtra, Missal Pav is a spicy dish. Consisting of aย wateryย curry made from moong dal along with some farsaan and served with Pavs, this is enjoyed by one and all. Another famous breakfast item in Maharashtra is the Vada Pav, one of the cheapest and filling dish.

Idli Sambhar: I guess Idli Sambhar is the world-famous breakfast dish and this has to be on any breakfast list that has been ever made. Made from rice and steamed, the idli itself doesn’t have much taste. Served with either coconut chutney of sambhar, this is enjoyed by one and all. Folks from the South may not enjoy the Aloo Paratha as much,but North Indian guys surely love the Idli !
