Biónico
Fruit cup with cream
Biónico: Guadalajara's fruit cup topped with sweet cream, granola, coconut and raisins
Born in the 1990s at a juice stand in Guadalajara, Jalisco, the biónico is now the city's favourite breakfast on the go: a tall cup of chopped papaya, melon, apple, banana and strawberries drenched in a sweet cream of yoghurt, soured cream and condensed milk, then scattered with granola, coconut and raisins. Kids adore it and it takes fifteen minutes. Chef's tip: cut the banana last and fold it straight into the cream, so it stays pale.

Method
0/4 doneStep 1: Whisk 7 oz plain yoghurt, 3 ½ oz soured cream or Mexican crema, ¼ cup sweetened condensed milk and ½ tsp vanilla extract until smooth and pourable.
3 minStep 2: Mix the 10 ½ oz ripe papaya, 10 ½ oz cantaloupe melon, 1 apple and 7 oz strawberries and divide between 4 tall glasses or bowls.
8 minStep 3: Slice the 1 banana straight onto the fruit and spoon the cream over at once. A common mistake is assembling ahead: the granola goes soggy, so top only when serving.
2 minStep 4: Scatter with 2 ⅛ oz gluten-free granola, 2 tbsp desiccated coconut and 2 tbsp raisins, drizzle with 1 tbsp honey if you like, and eat straight away.

Proof that a meat-free taco night can be the best one. The beans are mashed with chipotle and cumin so they hold together in the tortilla, and a quick lime slaw adds crunch.
Sabudana khichdiSago with peanuts and potato
Sabudana khichdi is the dish that sees Maharashtra through every vrat (fast), from Navratri to Ekadashi, but it's so good that people eat it any day of the week. Soaked sago pearls are tossed in a pan with crushed roasted peanuts, cubes of potato, cumin and green chilli until each pearl turns glassy and separate, then finished with lemon and coriander. It's soft, chewy, nutty and gently hot. Fasting rules vary from family to family, so check yours; this version uses rock salt and no asafoetida, onion or garlic. Traditionally it's cooked in ghee; use ghee instead of oil if you aren't keeping it vegan. Chef's tip: soak the sago in just enough water to cover by the height of the pearls themselves, no more; too much water is the reason khichdi turns into one sticky lump.

Doi chiraFlattened rice with curd
Nothing is cooked for doi chira, which is why it has been the breakfast of farmers and fishermen in Barisal for generations: flattened rice is rinsed, softened in thick, slightly sour curd and sweetened with jaggery or sugar, then mashed together with a ripe banana. The texture is soft and creamy with a little chew from the rice flakes, and the taste is cool, sweet and tangy. It is eaten on hot summer mornings, at village fairs and as part of the Pohela Boishakh spread, and it is a favourite of children and of anyone fasting who wants something gentle. The usual misstep is soaking the chira for too long, which turns it to paste; a quick rinse is all it needs before the curd does the rest. Chef's tip: use thick-cut chira, not the thin kind for frying, so the flakes hold their shape.
