Food for Fast (Vrat ka Khana)

Fasting is a common tradition in India, typically observed during religious festivals such as Mahashivratri, Navratri, or Kali Puja. During fasting, only certain foods or ingredients are allowed, for example, fruits, milk and dairy products, sabudana, and specific grains like buckwheat. The foods or ingredients that are not allowed in preparing the vrat/fasting food are common grains like wheat and rice, meat, eggs, onion, garlic, etc.

Indian New Year Recipes

The Indian New Year marks the beginning of spring and is celebrated across the country with different names and traditions. Also known as "Varsha Puranam" or "Nav Varsh" in Sanskrit, it is a traditional Hindu festival that marks the beginning of the Hindu lunar calendar. In South India (Karnataka, Andhra, and Telangana), it is known as Ugadi or Yugadi, while in Maharashtra, it is called Gudi Pawdi. North Indians celebrate it as Chaitra Navratri, and Bengalis call it Poila Baisakh. Food is an essential part of these celebrations, and people prepare and share sweet and savory dishes. I am sharing a selection of some delectable dishes which I hope will add to the festive spirit of the Indian New Year and make your celebrations even more special.
