Be it Navratri or Shravan maas, many practice fasting during these months, which means onion, garlic is a big no no for many. Fasting practices are different from region to region. I believe “There are no rules in fasting. Some fast on Mondays, some on Tuesdays and Fridays, while others fast only on certain religious days”.

While a wide region follows the no onion, no garlic, and abstain from non vegetarian food, some even say no to mustard seeds, stay away from grains and wheat. Potato is one of the humble vegetable people eat during fast, since it’s filling and high in carbs. Combine potatoes with nutrients filled makhana (lotus seeds) makes for one scrumptious and filling fasting dish, Aloo Makhana Sabzi.

Serve No Onion No Garlic Aloo Makhani Sabzi with Sattu Ka Paratha for fasting or you can also serve it with Phulka or Pudina Tawa Paratha and Palak Raita for an everyday meal.
