2. Murukku
Diwali (a Hindu festival) breakfast includes exactly three idlis (with ghee on top), coconut chutney, milagai podi, vadas, murukku and chakra pongal (also with ghee on top) and watching Pattimandram (a Tamil debate show) in the living room. Of course you had to offer the first helping to the Gods and wait till they were done eating first. Because that's how you start your day. By offering thanks to whoever put food on your plate.
