And if it has already been not planned/ arranged  the previous day itself , then she will be at her wits end to whip up a quick , wholesome breakfast for her family ! Here is one such breakfast to save you on those days . Also good for a person who is single & wants a quick easy one without any hassles. This is a recipe from the Kochi side GSB’s .
                            This is usually made with maida but you can make it with  wheat atta too which is more wholesome !  Combined with this kothambari chutney , it will make for a great meal & filling too !
