I'm an Indian guy in my twenties, living in US. I used to have cornflakes and the like for breakfast, but recently I turned lactose intolerant. I hate cornflakes without the milk.

There are a lot of breakfast options coming from my culture, but I need something that doesn't take time to make. I'm a lazy bum and can barely make it in time to my university as it is. If anyone has ideas, please let me know.

My wife and I, while not Indian, fell in love with instant upma when an Indian grocery moved into the neighbourhood.

But yeah, I get where you're coming from when you want something super low maintenance. As others are recommending, oat milk is pretty good on cereal. I only wish I could by it (or any alt-milk for that matter) by the gallon instead of in those cardboard cartons.

Hey have you tried Jamaican patties? You say you're a student and those little yellow bombs got me through university. You can usually buy them in bulk and they're a surprisingly cheap source of protein. And they tend to come in different levels of spiciness to suit your preference. They nuke in like a minute so perfect for pulling an all-nighter. I lived in Toronto at the time and it was the go-to snack for students at U of T.

Oh it just occurred to me you may have dietary restrictions. The classic Jamaican patty is ground beef, alas, though jerk chicken is also popular. I think I've seen vegetarian patties too, though they may be a little harder to source?
