This is a fab list. I may even post it as its own post called “Mythili’s contributions”. Thanks for sharing. Some good ideas, especially the pancake and smoothies. I love smoothies myself, not sure if you “invested” in a Vitamix but its worth the buy especially if you like smoothies. Garamagaram parathas sounds soo good, but I’m glad I’m not having them for breakfast…I do get to eat them at times for lunch:) not hot off the stove but at least some decent lunch box options. On a serious note, let me know if you do want to contribute on a regular basis to RKK.

We 3 ( me and kids) aredefinetly drink breakfast type people Raj is a standard, oatmeal+ friut+ nuts person thankfully caters to his needs himself.

our breakfast usually is

milk shake , apple+ banana+ +dates + soaked almonds+ milk or almond milk + a bit of whey protein added in or any combination of above.

Pancakes ( trader joe multigrain pmncake mix) mixed at night + blueberries, takes 5 min to make inthe morning + yougurt + apple

Most days i take apple + cheese + walnuts + the ever present TEA and Toast

Aditi is banana milk shake with cooked cream of wheat added in it.- pretty much on a daily basis.

if nothing else, it’s toadt with peanut butter + honey for rohan with Mil+ whey protein.

But i’m going to get muesli and try it as a snack.. never had it before i think i could do the soaked soft stuff.
I thought with aunty present you’d be enjoying garamagaram parathas in the morning?

Comment on Venn Pongal – Traditional South Indian Rice Porridge by Pongalo Pongal! « Roz Ka Khana

[...] Pongal, as explained in my earlier post, is akin to Thanksgiving, marking the Harvest festival and obeisance to the Sun God. It is celebrated in South India as Sankranthi and in the North as Lohri. Sakkarai pongal is one of my all time favorite sweet dishes and I’ve been known to indulge in spoonfuls, um cupfuls of this dish laden with rice, sugar and ghee (clarified butter). I’ve tried to make a healthier version of Sakarai pongal with less ghee but the taste isn’t the same. I’ve given in and this is the version I’ve grown up with – it’s Amma’s version, which also happens to be my favorite recipe for Sakkarai Pongal. [...]

Hi there
So nice to “meet” you..what a small world. The Vitamix is pretty good for batters and spices, though for small amounts of spices, coffee etc I still use my coffee grinder. But you can absolutely use it for bulk masala grinding, especially the dry grinder. It is an expensive machine but totally worth every penny. Hope this helped.
