How to make a high-fibre Indian breakfast bowl in 5 minutes

Let’s be honest, most of us barely come close to the daily fibre our body actually needs. The average Indian adult requires around 25 to 30 grams of fibre a day, but typical breakfasts often fall short. This quick and colourful Indian breakfast bowl is packed with fibre, super easy to put together, and genuinely enjoyable to eat. It takes barely five minutes, keeps you full for hours, and gives your gut a happy, healthy start to the day. Let’s take a look at what goes into this simple, high-fibre bowl and why it works so well.

What you’ll need
Soaked poha or cooked dalia, cooked moong sprouts or leftover black chana, chopped cucumber, tomato, grated carrot, a spoonful of curd or hung dahi, roasted peanuts or pumpkin seeds, lemon juice, black salt, jeera powder, and fresh coriander. Optional add-ons include pomegranate seeds or a pinch of chaat masala for extra flavour.



How to make it
Just mix everything in a bowl till the flavours come together. No cooking and no complicated steps, just real, wholesome food. This bowl can easily give you around 10 to 12 grams of fibre in one go, depending on what you mix in. It’s a great way to cover nearly half your daily fibre before the day even begins.


Why this bowl works

Fibre does more than just help with digestion. It supports blood sugar levels, feeds healthy gut bacteria, and keeps you from feeling hungry too soon. This bowl gives you soluble fibre from lentils and sprouts, and insoluble fibre from vegetables and grains.


That means your gut stays active and comfortable. Curd adds good bacteria, while the seeds bring in healthy fats. All of it together keeps you full and light at the same time.
