Seviyan

Recipe contributed by: Shilpa Balwani, Gujarat, India

Seviyan is a standard Sindhi breakfast usually served with fried potatoes, Papad or Puri. What? Don't believe it? If you have such a heavy breakfast, you might not be hungry till the dinner that day. Oh but how delicious is the fusion of sweet Seviyan and spicy potatoes! Though I don't know if Sindhi families still have this kind of breakfast regularly or they reserve it for special occasions/weekends! Sindhi people, I would like to how often do you serve it as breakfast?

My cousin, Shilpa is a regular contributor on this blog. Check out her other delicious recipes too. This is one of her favorite Sindhi breakfast dish. But you can have it as dessert after lunch/dinner. I have also posted the Sindhi-Style fried Potatoes recipe. Make them together for a perfect combo.

Berry Yogurt Parfait

Recipe contributed by: Dhara Balwa

Parfait is one of the healthiest breakfast or snack to have. You can serve it as a healthier dessert option too. Full of protein in form of Greek Yogurt, oats and fresh fruit, it is a great way to start your day. There are so many versions in the market now. Some of them have so much sugar, it is just like having dessert for breakfast with fruit sauces and what not! This version is very low on sugar with lots of fruit that adds sweetness naturally. My son eats this so happily. And it is quick to make too. I make it from whatever fruits are available like oranges, bananas, berries. Throw in some nuts and it's ready. Try it out.

Granola

Recipe contributed by: Dhara Balwa

The other morning, I was having my cereal and I thought why not try making my own cereal! I googled in search of good recipes and came across Julie's Willow Bird Baking website that has a treasure of baking recipes. Besides the cereal recipe that I adapted from her website, on the same page was the recipe of granola. It looked easy and delicious. You can find both her recipes by following the link here. http://willowbirdbaking.com/2010/08/11/48-homemade-breakfast-cereals/

For the cereal, the only change I made was instead of using just almond flour, I just churned some toasted almonds, walnuts and cashews equivalent to 1/3 cup. For Granola, I have made a few changes according to my liking. Combine the two of them and throw in your favorite add-ins and the result is a delicious breakfast.

Aalu Paratha (Potato Stuffed Indian Bread)

Recipe contributed by: Dhara Balwa

Usually, I don't do step-by-step photo description of my recipes, but for this one I thought it is a good idea to do it. Every household has their favorite Aalu paratha recipe. And you know, I like all the varieties, the different spices that people play with. Here is my favorite though. Hope you try it and enjoy it as much.

Koki (Sindhi unleavened bread) and Tadka Dahi (Yogurt)

Recipe contributed by Lata Balwa, Gujarat, India

My mom makes the best koki (and of course everything else too), PERIOD. I have tried and tried and it still hasn't been up to her mark. So when she asked me which of her recipes I would like to have on my blog, the first one that popped in my mind was koki. Koki is usually served as breakfast in Sindhi household but we usually have it as dinner (too heavy for breakfast, until you are ready to go to sleep right in the morning). But here, having it as brunch is also a good option. It is also a good travel/picnic food like Gujarati Thepla. Enjoy this koki with the tadka dahi(yogurt).
