Best Milk Dishes for a Super Quick and Nutritious Breakfast
When you are in a hurry and do not have time to prepare a dish in the morning, go for these easy and nutritious breakfast recipes to ensure that you or your child gets her daily dose of milk.
Fruit and nut porridge: Mix a handful of oats, chia seeds, bananas, dates and nuts in a bowl and add a glass of milk. You get a perfect one-pot breakfast meal with enough nutrients to keep you full till lunchtime.
Indian pancakes (malpuas): Take 2 cups of milk and use a spoon to slowly add one cup of whole wheat flour to it. This can be a bit tricky so you have to add flour one spoon at a time and mix well each time to ensure a smooth paste. Once the paste is smooth add half a spoon of fennel seeds, a ping of cinnamon powder and 5-6 spoons of sugar. Mix the batter well and spread it on a non-stick pan evenly. Cook the pancake from both sides and serve hot.
Bread and nut pudding (cooked at night to serve for breakfast): Take 4-5 bread slices of whole-wheat bread, two cups of milk, a tablespoon of sugar, a few spoons of roughly chopped almonds, walnuts, raisins and a dollop of butter. Spread the butter on both sides of bread and heat them on a pan until crispy. Reduce milk to half by heating in a sauce-pan and add sugar and dry fruits. Place the bread slices in a baking dish and pour the milk mixture with nuts over the bread slices. Bake the dish at 180 degrees for 6 to 8 minutes. Chill and serve.
