Three Indian Breakfast Dishes Rank Among World’s Best in 2025, Maharashtra’s Favorite Leads the List
Three iconic Indian breakfast dishes have earned a spot among the Top 50 Breakfasts in the World, as per the latest rankings by Taste Atlas (June 2025). While India is renowned for its diverse and flavorful morning meals like dosa, idli, and samosa, these three dishes have now gained global recognition for their rich taste and cultural significance. These are Misal Pav, Paratha, and Chole Bhature.
Indian Breakfast Dishes That Made the Cut
1. Misal Pav (Ranked #17)
Hailing from Maharashtra, Misal Pav is a fiery and flavorful dish that has been crowned as one of the most iconic breakfasts in Indian cuisine. According to Taste Atlas, an authentic Misal Pav must be spicy, crunchy, and visually vibrant, featuring a mix of red, orange, green, and brown hues. The dish consists of sprouted lentils cooked in a spicy curry (tarri), topped with chopped onions, fresh coriander, lemon juice, crunchy farsan, and buttered pav (soft bread rolls).
2. Paratha (Ranked #22)
A North Indian staple, the Paratha is a versatile flatbread that comes stuffed with various fillings like potato (aloo), cauliflower (gobi), paneer (cottage cheese), or even radish (mooli). Served with curd, butter, or tangy pickles, this hearty breakfast item is enjoyed across India in different regional variations.
3. Chole Bhature (Ranked #31)
A Delhi street food favorite, Chole Bhature combines spicy chickpea curry (chole) with deep-fried, fluffy bhature. Often relished as a heavy breakfast or brunch, this dish is a beloved indulgence across North India.
More Indian Dishes in the Top 100
While the Top 50 list was shared on Instagram, Taste Atlas also revealed rankings from 51 to 100, where several other Indian delicacies featured, including:
- Nihari (slow-cooked meat stew)
- Shrikhand (sweetened yoghurt dessert)
- Palak Paneer (spinach and cottage cheese curry)
This recognition highlights India’s diverse and globally influential food culture, which has previously been celebrated in Taste Atlas’ rankings of the world’s best breads.
Why These Dishes Stand Out
Indian breakfasts are not just about taste—they reflect regional traditions, local ingredients, and culinary heritage. Whether it’s the spice-packed Misal Pav of Maharashtra, the comforting Parathas of Punjab, or the rich Chole Bhature of Delhi, these dishes offer a delicious start to the day.
