f you are tired of eating the same staple breakfast everyday and want to add some zing to your first morning meal, then read on as we bring to you some of the choicest healthy breakfast dishes to kickstart your day. Wake up to a delicious and nutritious breakfast with one of these temptingly tasty preparations which will keep you fuller for long. We present an array of places where you can have mouth watering dishes, from traditional breakfast menus to what the world eats. Amit Bhardwaj, chef at Alila Diwa, Goa, tells us about his Spicy Prawn Balchao Scrambled in a Decadent Croissant, This wonderfully different breakfast alternative is a must do for the adventurous gastronomes. It combines the spicy oils of the traditional Balchao pickling spices and the sheer smoothness of a scrambled egg, enveloped in a warm aromatic and buttery croissant. The result is drama that unfolds as the flavours unravel. The selection includes versatile dishes from waffles to upma, sandwiches to steamed salmons and much more. Chef Avinash Handoo, executive chef at India Grill, Hilton Garden Inn, Delhi, says, The Belgian waffle is a type of waffle identified by its larger size, lighter batter and higher grid pattern which forms deep pockets and has larger squares. In Belgium, there are a number of different types of waffle, including the Brussels waffle, the Liege waffle and the stroopwaffle; what is known in North America as the Belgian waffle is most similar to the Brussels waffle. As opposed to a traditional waffle, the Belgian waffle attributes its height to the use of yeast batter instead of a pancake batter. They are often eaten as a breakfast food. In North America, they are usually served with butter (or margarine) and maple syrup or with vanilla ice-cream and ingredients. By going through the recipes, you can give a healthy modern twist to the usual fare and can also include some new delectables to your daily breakfast. You can also venture out and savour the breakfast spread in various options such as buffet, live stations or an a la carte menu.
