  • ½ tsp garam masala
  • Salt to taste

Method

  1. Prepare the batter: Blend cooked rice, yogurt and a little water until smooth. Mix with suji and salt. Add water as required to make a thick but pourable batter. Rest for 15–20 minutes.

  3. Add turmeric, red chilli powder, coriander powder, garam masala and salt. Add mashed potatoes and mix well. Finish with fresh coriander.
  4. Add Eno: Just before steaming, add ½ tsp Eno to the prepared batter. Sprinkle 1–2 tsp water over it and gently mix in one direction. Do not overmix.
  5. First layer: Grease a round steel plate/thali that fits inside your steamer. Pour half of the batter onto the plate and spread evenly.
  6. Steam for 5–7 minutes, just until the first layer is set.
  7. Add the filling: Carefully spread the potato masala evenly over the steamed first layer.
  8. Second layer: Pour the remaining batter over the potato masala and gently spread it to completely cover the filling.
  9. Steam again for 10–12 minutes, or until the top layer is fully cooked.
  10. Allow it to rest for 5 minutes, then carefully remove it from the plate and cut into squares or wedges.

Make It Crispy

  1. Heat a non-stick tawa and lightly brush it with oil.
  2. Place the idli sandwich pieces on the tawa.
  3. Cook on medium-low heat for 2–3 minutes until golden and crisp underneath.
  4. Flip carefully and crisp the other side.
  5. For extra crunch, sprinkle a few sesame seeds on the tawa before placing the idli pieces.

Serve hot with mint-coriander chutney, tomato chutney or a yogurt dip.

Tip: If you are making two layers, add Eno to the batter immediately before starting the steaming process so the batter stays light and fluffy.

Bore Basi (Chhattisgarh) / Panta Bhat (Eastern India)

By / Breakfast Recipes, Fitpiq Team, Health Tips, Healthy Breakfast Recipes, Healthy Recipes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cooked rice (preferably from the previous day)
  • 1–2 cups drinking water
  • Salt to taste

Basic Method

  1. Place the cooked rice in a bowl or pot.
  2. Add enough water to fully cover the rice.
  3. Cover and leave it overnight at room temperature (typically 8–12 hours).
  4. The next morning, lightly mash or stir the rice.
  5. Add salt and serve.

Traditional Bore Basi (Chhattisgarh) Serving Ideas

Often served with:

  • Roasted or fried green chilies
  • Raw onions
  • Fresh curd (yogurt)
  • Pickles
  • Roasted tomatoes or garlic chutney
  • Seasonal vegetables

Traditional Panta Bhat (Bengal & Assam) Serving Ideas

Common accompaniments include:

  • Fried fish
  • Raw onions and green chilies
  • Mustard oil
  • Salt
  • Pickles

Food Safety Tips

  • Use clean drinking water.
  • In very hot climates, fermentation happens quickly; if the rice develops an unpleasant smell, mold, or unusual appearance, discard it.
  • If your kitchen stays very warm overnight, you can ferment it for a shorter time or refrigerate it after a few hours.

Quick Version

If you don’t want fermentation, simply soak cooked rice in cool water for 30–60 minutes and serve with salt, curd, onions, and chilies. It won’t have the tangy flavor of traditional Bore Basi/Panta Bhat, but it’s still refreshing.

Quick High-Protein Tofu Scramble

By / Breakfast Recipes, Fitpiq Team, Health Tips, Healthy Breakfast Recipes, Healthy Recipes

A fast, savory, high-protein meal that works for breakfast, lunch, or post-workout.

Nutrition (Approx. 1 Serving)

  • Protein: ~25 g
  • Calories: ~280–350 kcal
  • Time: 7–10 mins

Ingredients

Base

  • 200 g firm tofu
  • 1 tsp oil (olive oil or butter)

Seasoning

  • ¼ tsp turmeric
  • ½ tsp chili flakes
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Optional Flavor Boosters

  • ¼ tsp cumin powder
  • ½ tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp nutritional yeast (cheesy flavor)

Optional Veggies

  • 2 tbsp onion, chopped
  • 2 tbsp capsicum, chopped
  • Spinach or mushrooms

Step 1: Prep the Tofu

Use:

  • firm or extra-firm tofu

Drain excess water.

For better texture:

  • Wrap tofu in a kitchen towel.
  • Press gently for 2–3 minutes.

Break it apart using your hands or fork.

You want:

  • uneven crumbles
  • similar to scrambled eggs

Step 2: Heat the Pan

Place a non-stick pan on medium heat.

Add:

  • 1 tsp oil

If using vegetables:

  • sauté onions/capsicum for 1–2 minutes first.

Step 3: Add Tofu + Seasoning

Add crumbled tofu to the pan.

Sprinkle:

  • turmeric
  • chili flakes
  • garlic powder
  • salt
  • pepper

Mix well so the tofu gets evenly coated.

The turmeric gives:

  • egg-like color
  • mild earthy flavor

Step 4: Cook Until Crispy

Cook on medium heat for:

  • 5–7 minutes

Stir occasionally, not constantly.

This helps the tofu:

  • brown properly
  • develop crispy edges

For extra crispness:

  • press lightly with spatula
  • let it sit untouched for 30–40 seconds between stirs

Step 5: Final Flavoring

Optional additions near the end:

  • soy sauce for umami
  • oregano for pizza flavor
  • nutritional yeast for cheesy taste

Cook 1 extra minute.

Serving Ideas

High-Protein Breakfast

Serve with:

  • toast
  • avocado

  • paratha

Gym Meal

Tips for Best Texture

Don’t overcrowd the pan

Too much moisture = soggy tofu.

Use firm tofu

Soft tofu won’t crisp properly.

Medium heat works best

High heat burns spices before tofu crisps.

Press tofu beforehand

Removes water and improves browning
