Sawan Special: Easy Potato Recipes

    Share on

During Sawan Somvar fasts, devotees avoid onion, garlic, grains, lentils, and meat. Instead, they eat clean, satvik meals using ingredients like potatoes, buckwheat flour, milk, and rock salt. Potatoes stand out for their versatility and satisfying nature during fasting days.

Here are six aloo-based recipes ideal for the fasting season:

  1. Vratwale Aloo – Boiled potatoes cooked in light spices and rock salt, perfect with buckwheat puri for a filling meal.
  2. Aloo Chaat – Crispy fried potato cubes tossed with peanuts, green chutney, lemon, and rock salt for a tangy snack
  3. Aloo Chips – Thinly sliced potatoes baked or fried and seasoned with rock salt for a crunchy treat.
  4. Aloo Kadhi – A light curd-based curry with potato fritters made using water chestnut flour, seasoned with curry leaves and rock salt 
  5. Khatte Meethe Aloo – A quick sweet-and-sour dish made using lemon juice, sugar, ghee, and potatoes.
  6. Aloo Ka Halwa – A unique fasting dessert from Uttar Pradesh, made with mashed potatoes, ghee, sugar, and dry fruits rich yet light.

These dishes are easy to prep and align with fasting rules. You can boil potatoes ahead to save time. Enjoy tasty, varied meals without breaking your fast.
