Editorial

Quick principle: pair a complex carb + protein + fibre, add a little healthy fat and mild spices (ginger, black pepper) for warmth and digestion. Good choices: upma, idli/dhokla, poha with peanuts, broken‑wheat (dalia) khichdi, ragi/bajra porridge, moong-dal chilla or besan cheela, sattu drink. Quick hacks: batch cook idli/dosa batter, freeze parathas/idlis in portions, precook khichdi/daliya for 2–3 days. Reheating tips: sprinkle a little water and cover to steam (microwave or stovetop) to avoid drying; warm parathas on a tawa with a drop of oil. Store-bought time-savers: frozen idlis/parathas, millet porridge mixes, canned beans. Monsoon safety: prefer freshly cooked/cooked‑to‑hot foods, reheat thoroughly, and avoid soggy street snacks to reduce contamination risk.
