Sawan Fasting Made Easy: Try These 5 Satvik Meals

Lifestyle News: Sawan, the holy month, has begun. Lord Shiva is celebrated this month, with Shiva worshippers observing fasts and engaging in a lot of worship during this month. For the followers of Bholenath, the Mondays of Sawan are also extremely important. Fasting is traditionally observed on all Mondays of Sawan. In terms of both spirituality and health, the Sawan fast is extremely unique. This is your chance to cleanse your body by consuming healthy, satvik food. We got together five of these Satvik dishes for you, which are not only simple to prepare but also extremely beneficial to your health. Let's find out how to make them easily.

Fried Sabudana Khichdi

During the Sawan Monday fast, a lot of Sabudana Khichdi is consumed. To make it, soak the sabudana for four to five hours to soften it. Next, heat the ghee in a pan and stir in the peanuts, potatoes, green chillies, and cumin seeds. Sabudana should now be added and cooked until transparent. Warm up and serve. During the fast, the energy-dense Sabudana Khichdi keeps the stomach filled for a long time.

Potato and cumin

Potato cumin is a satvik dish that can be consumed during the Sawan Monday fast. Heat ghee in a pan, then add cumin seeds. After that, add the chopped potatoes and chiles and combine. Add rock salt and sauté for a few minutes before allowing it to simmer for another 5-6 minutes. Serve with coriander. This fast prevents gas from forming in the stomach, and cumin promotes digestion.

Samak Rice

Samak rice is made specifically for fasting. It's also quite simple to make. Simply wash the Samak rice and fry it lightly in ghee. After that, add cumin and chilli, followed by water and salt. Allow it to cook on a low burner until the water evaporates. In addition to being satvik, it is gluten-free. It is also useful for diabetics and others looking to lose weight.

Buckwheat Puri

Kuttu flour puri is also the most popular dish consumed during fasting. To create it, knead together the flour, boiling potato, salt, and chilli. After that, roll small puris and cook in hot ghee. It has a high fibre and protein content. It also benefits the body by providing energy and keeping the stomach full for an extended period of time.

Water chestnut paratha

Bring the flour, boiled potatoes, and spices together and work the dough into a smooth ball. Roll it up and cook it in a pan with ghee. Eat it with curd or as a fasting vegetable. It contains iron and magnesium, which calm the body and ease constipation.
