Karwa Chauth is a festival that holds great significance among married women in Northern regions of India like Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan. On this auspicious day, women wake up early in the morning and have their first meal of the day, consisting of sewaiyan, desserts, nuts, meethi mathi, fruits, and others. And all these components make a sargi thali. Then, the women observe a rigorous fast and break it after seeing the moon.
Let us tell you that desserts are an essential part of the sargi thali. Sargi Thali is a special meal that is traditionally prepared by mothers-in-law for their daughters-in-law. Here are seven desserts that can be included in a Sargi Thali. Have a look!
