Fun Bun Breakfast

 


This post is going to be a fun for the kids as the name says. It is very easy to make and the kids will never say NO to breakfast. 

You will need - 

2 eggs beaten and seasoned with a little salt, crushed pepper, cumin powder and turmeric powder. If you like, you can make it a little sweet by adding a tsp of brown sugar, and a dash of ground cinnamon.

Buns / Bread Slices - cut them out as in the picture below and also save the cut pieces. I have just cut out a square with knife. You can use a cookie cutter of any shape. Choose the one which is your kid's favorite shape.  


Now, heat up a pan / skillet and grease with some cooking oil or cooking spray. Keep the stove in medium heat.

Place one piece of the cut bun and using a spoon, pour little beaten egg carefully into the hole in the middle as shown in the picture below..



After it is half cooked, flip it over and pour 1/2 tsp of oil. If you see the picture below, you will see how  the bottom looks like after flipping it over. If you pour the egg batter carefully into the hole, you will get a perfect shape in the middle. You can use a lid to cover and cook, if you want to.


Once both sides are cooked, dip the small squares into the remaining egg batter and cook them.


Now arrange it in anyway your kid likes. I have arranged it like a face. This can also be given as an evening snack after the kids come home from school. 

I am sure the kids will enjoy this fun bun breakfast!!!

Significance of Pillayar Nonbu

Pillayar nombu is a nombu celebrated exclusively by Naattukkottai Nagarathars. This post is intended for young chettiar couples living far from their families, who want to know about this nonbu and celebrate it at home. The significance of performing this nombu, is that we pray to Lord Ganesha, requesting him to remove all the obstacles in our life.  I have heard that there are 3 versions of the story behind this nonbu. I am sharing the one that my mom has told me... A teenage girl was ill-treated by her step-mother. On karthigai deepam day, this step-mother's diamond ring was missing and she accused this girl of stealing her ring. This girl went to a pillayar temple and prayed to Lord Ganesha that she will prove herself as innocent and find the ring. So she started saying her prayers to Lord Ganesha, by removing one thread a day from her cotton saree for 21 days. She promised to the God that, when she proves her innocence, she will make the number of threads she has on that day as...
