​
About

Fasting food or vrat ka khana is a type of food which are generally served or prepared during the religious or festival seasons as compared to the day-to-day meal. These are typically prepared with limited and chosen ingredients with rice, lentil, and grains strictly prohibited. Yet there are certain regular ingredients like potato, peanuts, and millet that can be used which are known for health benefits. Due to the nature of the fasting, only one or 2 meals are maximum allowed during the fasting, and hence using healthy and nutrient ingredients really helps to focus on the spiritual side of fasting. However, these fasting foods or vrat ka khana are not limited to only fasting or religious occasions. These recipes are ideal if you are particularly looking for a healthier lifestyle option. Particularly if you plan to switch to vegetarian or vegan food options. With types of ingredients used for meat cooking, induces a lot of heat to the body and may not be suitable to focus on your goals. Also, it may be less healthy and maybe more fatty and salty in nature. Therefore, switching to these kinds of upwas ka nastha may be a healthier option.
