A healthy breakfast provides a kickstart for an energetic day. Eating the same old breakfast sandwich or bread-butter jam doesn’t provide all the essential nutrients required to get you through a long day. Remember granny’s rule – Make your breakfast with fresh ingredients, include few fruits if possible and say no to canned and processed food which are high in calories and sugar content, if you want to stay healthy and fit.

Some traditions never die and so they have made a come-back with FamrztoFamiliez where 3 women entrepreneurs are determined to serve the best, healthy and nutritious breakfast food on your table. It all started when Vidya Selvalaxmi was working for an MNC and everyday breakfast was limited to oats porridge and cornflakes because of the morning rush. Same was the story of her friend Srilatha who was really missing her Mum’s crisp Dosas and Soft Appams. When they tried recreating the same magic in their kitchen, they realized that there is only one variety of white dosa batter and you can’t really make the variety of dishes which their mothers used to serve.

Guess what? Who came to the rescue? Of-course Mom!! As a Mother knows it all. Vidya’s mother started sharing various Dosa mixes recipes so that her child can enjoy. This laid the foundation of FamrztoFamiliez which serves healthy, nutritious, fresh and hygienic Idli/ Dosa Batter in six different flavours and varieties.

And if you are wondering that how can one be sure that these products from farmztofamiliez are the same recipes of Vidya’s mother’s original recipes? Well the answer is Vidya’s mother Mrs Sundari herself decided to handle the production unit and heads the department to keep a hawk eye quality check on everyday production. Now be rest assured that nothing can go wrong as it’s under the most powerful CCTV Surveillance – the Mother’s eye.

Plattershare members got an opportunity to taste and try these Mixes and batter under the BellyNirvana program with Famz2Familiez. Everyone was amazed to see the innovative recipes which were prepared during the campaign. These are not the usual Dosa and Idli but twisted and innovative recipes. If you want to innovate, give a new look to your breakfast table and yet serve healthy and nutritious breakfast. Check out these recipes made with Farmz2Familiez products.

Appam Batter

Appam is a traditional Kerala Breakfast dish which is made from Rice and Coconut. Usually Appam Batter needs yeast to become soft and fluffy but F2F batter has been made traditionally without using yeast which gives it an edge on the health quotient but it still can be improved Says Femina Shiraz as they were not as soft as the appams which she makes (of course she admits that she uses yeast) so she would rate this batter excellent when it comes to health but taste needs an improvement.
