Breakfast ideas - Items which can be stored for 3-4 days

some one please answer?

 

Hai ananya, i knew it from menu rani chellam madam show...

1.instant adai mix

Rice - 1 cup
urud dhal - 1/4 cup
thuvar dhal - 1/4 cup
channa dhal - 1/4 cup
moong dhal - 1/4 cup
red chillies - 10-12
salt
asofoedita

Fry all these items in a pan without oil, till it turns to light golden (not brown). Grind these items into a course powder in a mixer. If u want to do adai, just mix the small amount of grinded powder to a water and buttermilk mixture for half an hour. And make adai dosai instantly. You can have coconut chutney for sidedish.

These are my mom's preparation:

2. Instant rava dosai.

Fry one cup of rava until it becomes golden brown, and keep it in a tight container outside/in fridge.

if u want to do dosai, take some amount of mixture and add it in the thick buttermilk, add salt, take a pan and fry mustard seeds, curry leaves, chopped ginger in oil and add these mixture in the buttermilk, the batter should be watery and not be so thick. Keep it aside for half an hour and make dosai, it will be nice.

Instant rava idly - same procedure as said above but just add soaked poha (10 mins) in the mixture to get a nice batter. Put it in the idly plate and steam it for 5-7 mins, Idly ready. Pls avoid ginger incase of idly. Serve with any chutney.

3. Wheat dosai -

Wheat flour - 1 cup
Rice flour - 2 tbsp
jeera - 1 tsp
salt
green chillies - chopped 1 or 2

Mix all these in a water and the batter should not be so thick like regular dosa. It should be like rava dosai batter. Keep it aside for half an hour and make healthy wheat dosai. Serve with Idly chilli powder or any chutney.

4. Aval upma -

Soak aval in a tamarind water(medium thickness) for 10 mins, (put salt and turnmeric powder in the tamarind water itself) and squeeze the excess water and keep it aside.
In a pan, add oil, after heating the oil, add mustard seeds, red chilly, green chilly, urud dhal, curry leaves and fry it till it becomes golden brown. Now add the squeezed aval in the pan and saute for 3 mins. It will be delicious.

 

Hi,

I can understand your problem. I had also gone through the same stage. Please do not cook any food n store in fridge. Because the nutirent part of the food we prepare will be lost in just three hours.

My suggestions for breakfast: (I am not sure if you would like south indian food)
1. Puttoo - This is just rice flour steamed, this can be mixed with grated coconut n sugar n served.

2. Poha/Upma - U can have the vegetable cut in the night and prepare poha in the morning. It will take harldy 15 mins. U can have this prepared with Oats/ Aval, etc. We have lot of healthy options.

3. Cereals - U can give this once in a week as this also has lot of nutrients

Hope it is of use to u

 

Hai ananya,

I forgot to tell u, these batters u can keep it fridge for 2 days also. Also u can make it in the night itself and in the morning u can readily do these.

Instant adai mix alone, you can keep refrigerate for some days, as it contains only dry items.

 

Dear Ananya
I agree with sanguineme ...Why not the cornflakes with few dry fruits added and milk there are variety available and also i suggest you check chitvish jiffy recipes it is quick fix...
