Breakfast in Uttar Pradesh is slightly unique. From deep-fried kachori to sugar-syrup-dipped jalebi, people in the state believe in starting their day with a hearty meal. Take a look at must-try options in Uttar Pradesh. 

Kachori Sabzi

In UP, you can find vendors selling dal kachori, aloo kachori, and more fried flatbread with aloo sabzi and chutney. 

Jalebi-Dahi

If you have been to Uttar Pradesh, you must have seen people relishing jalebi with curd. It tones down sweetness and boosts probiotics in the body.

Bread Pakora

You might like bread pakora for snacks, but people in UP have it for breakfast. It is often served with coriander and tamarind chutneys.

Choora Matar

If you live in Varanasi or have been there, you must be aware of choora matar. Flattened rice is cooked and served with peas.

Bedmi Poori

Bedmi poori along with aloo sabzi is a wholesome brunch and breakfast meal. Pair it with a cup of hot tea for a food coma.

Paneer Pakora

Across many sweet and snack shops, you will also find vendors selling paneer pakoras with tamarind and coriander chutney.
