Why Idly-Sambar is the Healthiest Breakfast Option:
The humble but ubiquitous Idly-Sambar, a dish that triggers much mirth, has emerged a clear winner. It has been chosen as the healthiest option among various Indian breakfast menus.
Also, the breakfast nutrient profile in Chennai is the best among all four metros though it is continues to be deficient in fibre, iron and B group of vitamins.
According to research on ‘India Breakfast Habits Study’ conducted by Dr. Malathi Sivaramakrishnan of Nirmala Niketan (with support of Kellogg India), the existence of well-defined breakfast foods like Idli and Dosa with Sambar ensures that Chennaiites have a breakfast adequate in calories compared to Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata.
Other studies have suggested a link between skipping breakfast to obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes and other health problems seen as precursors to heart problems.
