Breakfast recipes

A good South Asian or Gulf breakfast ranges from a ten-minute omelette with a hot paratha to slow weekend plates such as halwa puri, nihari or ful medames. Many of these dishes are built on pantry staples: flour, eggs, lentils, chickpeas, yogurt and a handful of spices.

Use this list when you need something for a school morning, a lazy Friday brunch or a guest who stayed over. Check the cooking time on each card, pick the dishes that match what is already in your kitchen, and follow the numbered steps with the built-in timers.

This collection has 40 dishes, including Aloo Paratha, Anda Paratha, Omelette Desi. A typical recipe takes about 50 minutes, and each one comes with step-by-step instructions and cooking timers.
