Sunny Side Up on a Dosai

Sunny Breakfast Joy
"Breakfast is the most important meal of the day", no one has any arguments with that statement. The arguments come in when we decide what to eat for breakfast. There is only so many possibilities with limited time on a weekday. Some breakfasts take up very little time and is loved by all and there is nary a protest. A small quantity of dosai batter, eggs and a cup of fruit - a well balanced breakfast that might even put a smile or two on the face. The egg on the dosai is cooked sunny side up, the gooey yellow serves as the dip. No Chutney or sambhar required. It was a favorite when I was a kid, a bulls eye and toasted bread was a favorite Sunday breakfast in college and it has become a kids favorite now, no surprises there.

This is a welcome break from the sugary breakfast cereals they seem to prefer. Cereal is limited to once a week and so other appealing and well liked breakfasts are always welcome.
