Vrat recipes are sattvic dishes prepared during Hindu fasts, typically using ingredients such as sabudana, kuttu, rajgira, samak rice, potatoes, and makhana. Onion, garlic, and regular salt are avoided; sendha namak is used, keeping meals light, nourishing, and prasad-ready.
Buckwheat flour mixed with grated paneer and spices, shallow-fried into soft tikkis.
Steamed buckwheat flour cake, light and spongy, tempered with green chillies and curry leaves.
Barnyard millet cooked with vrat-friendly veggies like carrots, beans, and potatoes.
Roasted foxnuts cooked in milk, sweetened naturally with dates.
