#healthyjunior - Let me share a healthy and a nutritious South Indian breakfast of semolina cooked with some green peas. It is a very simple and a quick dish that can be prepared in a jiffy. You can add any veggies to it, to enhance the flavour and make it more wholesome. It can be served with coconut chutney or pickle.
