Rice Flour Power Breakfasts for Monsoon: Protein & Fiber Packed

Introduction

Rice flour may seem simple, but it’s been a trusted kitchen staple in Indian homes for generations, especially during the rainy season. When mornings feel cold and lazy, and the body craves warmth and ease, light rice-based dishes feel just right.

But all breakfasts aren’t created equal. Some fill the stomach, while others truly nourish the body.

In this post, we discuss three comforting and high-protein breakfasts for monsoon mornings that are quick to prepare, easy to digest, and packed with natural goodness. When short on time, one might be tempted to rely on a few pre-packed ingredients. Depending on how quickly you want your dishes prepared, a few of these may become your go-to recipes.

Why Rice Flour and its Variants Work So Well During Monsoon

• Gentle on the stomach, especially when the digestive system slows down.
• Loaded with natural carbohydrates and plant-based proteins.
• Gluten-free by nature, and are perfect for sensitive stomachs.
• Cook fairly quickly, hence perfect for busy, damp mornings.

Not all flour is equal. Rice flour, moong dal rice flour, and fiber-rich ravvas provide a different feel and nutrition to your plate.

Nutrition at a Glance (per 100g)

Why it matters: Moong dal supports muscle repair, while ravvas offer sustained energy and fiber. Rice flour brings digestible carbs for a light, energizing start.

Recipe 1: Instant Pesarattu-Style Dosa

Why It’s Perfect for Andhra Mornings

• Inspired by traditional Andhra pesarattu, but much quicker to make.
• No soaking or grinding is required, just mix and cook.
• Packed with protein and fiber, and perfect for rainy mornings.
• Best made using moong dal rice flour labeled “Instant Dosa Pindi”, like the one from Sri Aishwarya Foods, which gives a smooth texture and wholesome taste.

Ingredients

• ½ cup Aishwarya Moong Dal Rice Flour
• ¼ tsp ajwain (carom seeds)
• 1 tsp cumin seeds
• 1 tbsp grated carrot (optional)
• 1 green chilli, finely chopped
• Salt to taste
• Water as needed
• 1 tsp oil or ghee for cooking

How to Make

1. In a bowl, mix moong dal rice flour, spices, grated carrot, and water to form a smooth, pourable batter.
2. Heat a tawa (griddle), grease lightly with oil or ghee.
3. Pour a ladle of batter onto the pan and spread it gently into a thin dosa.
4. Cook on medium flame until golden on both sides.

Nutritional Highlight

Each pesarattu-style cheela gives you around 9g of protein, is rich in iron, and offers gut-friendly fiber, a perfect light yet nourishing start to your day.

Tip: Serve with allam (ginger) chutney or coconut chutney for a classic Andhra touch!

Recipe 2: Andhra-Style Ravva Upma with Pesalu Biyyam Ravva

Why It Feels Like Home

Upma is a beloved tiffin across South Indian homes, simple, warm, and comforting. But when made with Pesalu Biyyam Ravva (a high-protein ravva made from moong dal & hand-pound quality rice), it becomes much more than just a filling dish. It’s a wholesome, fiber-rich breakfast that keeps you full and energized.

We recommend using Sri Aishwarya Foods’ Pesalu Biyyam Ravva, which is high in protein and fiber, supports cholesterol control, and is ideal for diabetic-friendly diets.

Ingredients

• ¾ cup pesalu biyyam ravva
• 1 cup mixed veggies (carrot, beans, peas)
• 1 small onion
• ½ tsp mustard seeds
• ½ tsp urad dal
• Curry leaves, green chilli
• Salt, lemon juice
• 2 cups hot water

How to Make

1. Temper mustard, urad dal, curry leaves, and chilli.
2. Sauté onions and veggies.
3. Pour hot water and stir in the ravva slowly.
4. Cover and cook for 5 mins. Finish with lemon juice.

Health Bonus: 15g protein + nearly 12g fiber per 100g, great for energy and digestion.

Monsoon Cooking Tips for Better Health

Store every flour in an airtight container with a few bay leaves in it to get rid of moisture or insects.

Add spices like cumin, turmeric, ginger, and pepper to aid digestion and boost immunity.

Steamed vegetables should be eaten during monsoons, rather than raw ones, to avoid monsoon-related infections.
