Breakfast Dip
So you say you don't have time for breakfast. Five minutes and you've got to be out of the house. You are angry that you have to rush. You wish someone would make breakfast for you. Wake up. This is a bad dream. You do have some great options.
Bread 101
If you are an Indian from India, you will probably be eating "refined" milk bread. That tends to be the worst bread you can eat - don't tell anyone here you eat this (colleagues once laughed at me). The word "refined" is an euphemism that really informs you that all the good stuff has been removed from the bread so you get a great taste. The bread to have is usually whole wheat - which still has the minerals from the unrefined ingredients. The best, IMHO, is the multi-grain variety (I usually stock 12-grain).
Pop the bread (multigrain variety) into the toaster.
Dip 101
The best accompaniment to your toasted bread is not peanut butter! It is important for us to eat live food and what better way to start your day than with an all-natural yogurt tomato dip.
Ingredients
1 cup Yogurt (non-fat variety, if you care)
1 washed tomato (preferably organic) (tomatoes don't come washed - you gotta do it yourself and while you're at it, chop it into four pieces)
3 Cloves
2 green cardamoms
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoon Chilli powder
Put all the ingredients into your blender. Remember to peel open the cardamoms and use whats inside. Blend away and you have your dip! Pour gently over your toast and start your day with a tasty, organic, live breakfast.
Troubleshooting
I burned my toast
Wait! Don't throw it away! Take it to the sink and using the other end of an aluminum spoon, scrape the carbon black off. It will then be good to eat.
I put too much salt
Add more yogurt and blend again. If you've put in a cup of salt then its easier to throw the whole thing and start again.

Hmm, sounds interesting. Will try it out next time I am getting late for office, without a breakfast ready :)
Hi Somik, your cooking tips are cool.. Yes I have refined bread and live a completely unhealthy food lifestyle...O sensei, show me the way!
12 grain is awesome i agree! that's all i eat nowadays - you've made me a bread snob now :)
HOWEVER, peanut butter is NOT bad for you! it's got proteins,niacin, folate,magnesium,copper,iron and of course, sodium. the chunkier the better, as it has more full peanuts. if you eat a banana along with ur peanut butter sandwich, you get potassium too and you're good to go! :)
I agree peanut better has the "good fat." However, it tastes so artificial. I find the yogurt dip very light.
Thanks for this easy and quick dip recipe, mine went a bit runny , and am sure thats okay considering its purpose, am a student and am lucky to have bumped onto this recipe ! btw i made a small change and went ahead and added a quater piece bell pepper & few red chilli flakes , and i savoured it absolutely .
I am not very fond of peanut butter. Is there an alternative for it?
