quick indian breakfast recipes

Some people take tea or coffee empty stomach. This leads to acidity over a period of time. Always have something to eat when you have your cuppa. You need them to cook fast and taste good even when you are in a hurry. Good food makes a great start for the day. If you do not have time to cook in the morning, have a bowl of overnight oats or any recipe from Indian breakfast menu. At least eat something rather than staying hungry. It is quite a long gap from the time you have eaten dinner and staying hungry as you go working along with routine only increases acidity.
