Folks, See no mention of foods of India !
There are as many typical breakfasts as there are states in India.
Unfortunately you can't find many places serving Indian breakfast. You can get a sampling at Surati Bros in Artesia CA. major metros like Chicago, La, Houston, NY, etc do have some joints serving some breakfast items...look for late night early morning taxi driver haunts !
Western India has many varieties of deep fried, spiced, items paired with chutneys, sauces etc. Add home made breads like roti, chapati, parathas....ALWAYS strong hot spiced tea.
the southerners are partial to rice all day. Fermented rice creeps, salty, often filled with spicy cooked potatoes, onions.....Steamed rice cakes...accompanied by hot curry with veggies in it and coconut chutney.....
Darn I am getting hungry !
