Healthy Breakfast Ready in 5minutes: In the Vindhya region of Madhya Pradesh, especially in rural and tribal areas, morning breakfast is completely different from the cities. Here neither Poha-Jalebi nor modern breakfasts like bread-sandwiches are included in the daily routine of the people.

Instead of this, the village people eat local breakfast which is cheap and also gives a lot of strength to the body. This is the reason why this breakfast is considered very beneficial for the people working hard in the fields.

Desi mixture of wet gram and peanuts
In rural areas, the mixture prepared from soaked gram and peanuts is very popular in the morning. This breakfast, besides being spicy in taste, is also full of nutrition. Shivbalak Kushwaha, a farmer of Bharatpur village, says that people in the village do not eat expensive breakfast every day. But definitely eat food that gives strength to the body. That’s why people soak gram in water at night and prepare breakfast from it in the morning.

This is how this desi breakfast is prepared
In the morning, a handful of lightly roasted peanuts are mixed in soaked gram. There is no need to remove the peel of peanuts. After this a little mustard oil is added to it. Mustard oil is used in villages just as many people use olive oil in cities.

Then lemon juice, black salt, chaat masala, finely chopped onion, tomato and cucumber are added and mixed well. This delicious and nutritious breakfast is ready in a few minutes.

Doctors also say that it is beneficial for health
According to Ayurveda expert doctor Dr. RP Parouha, having breakfast of gram and peanuts in the morning is very beneficial for health. A good amount of fiber is found in both gram and peanuts, due to which the stomach remains full for a long time and one does not feel hungry quickly. Apart from this, it is also rich in protein and iron, which gives energy to the body and helps in strengthening the muscles.

Weight also remains balanced
Dr. Parouha explains that this breakfast is low in calories and bad fats, while good fats and essential nutrients are present in sufficient quantity. If it is eaten regularly, the body remains strong and the weight also remains balanced. This is the reason why the rural people of Vindhya region consider it as their local protein breakfast.

Simple but nutritious village breakfast

In today’s time, where people are increasingly moving towards expensive and packaged food, this simple but nutritious breakfast still remains a part of tradition in the villages of Vindhya. This easily prepared desi breakfast gives strength to people and also keeps their health better.
