During Sawan, or the month of Shravan, many devotees observe a fast or generally avoid eating onion and garlic. Here are some dishes without onion and garlic to add to your vrat vali thali.
Sabudana khichdi is a popular fasting dish that is made with sabudana, potatoes, peanuts, green chillies, and spices.
Made with buckwheat flour (kuttu), these pooris are a great alternative to wheat-based ones during Sawan.
Potatoes are the go-to vegetable while fasting. The easiest vrat recipe would be the comforting jeera aloo.
If you’re not using table salt, having curd as is can be difficult. But you can make the healthy beetroot raita.
You can make sabudana tikki with mashed potatoes, soaked sabudana and a blend of spices.
For something sweet, you can make singhare ki kheer with milk, sugar, water chestnuts, and nuts.
