No Onion No Garlic Aloo Makhana Sabzi

No Onion No Garlic Aloo Makhana Sabzi

Be it Navrathri 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 (foxnuts) makes for one scrumptious and filling fasting dish. This No onion no garlic Aloo Makhana Sabzi is filling and delicious. Serve it with kuttu ke ate ki puri or kuttu ke paratha as your fasting meal and you will be satisfied!

    Hello Jyothi,

    Saw the post on Facebook, the monumental effort over tons of recipes. Never be too critical of yourself. Enjoy the process and journey so go on a posting spree. This one is a killer recipe to be frank I have always used them in my dal and thats it. Which I think I borrowed from Marwari weddings. But this is very doable. The sharpness and clarity is awesome of the pictures!!

    Jyothi, those clicks are awesome. I am not sure why were you hesitant to post them! Might not have met your own benchmarks but for me, your pics are always something that I look for! They are neither bright nor dark but with perfect composition and with clarity. You should have posted earlier. Never wonder about posting your clicks that you have always me to learn from it Jyothi! ❤️❤️

Welcome, I'm Jyothi

My food philosophy is simple, fresh and full of flavors! I love ‘spicy’ food. In fact so much so that I can skip dessert for extra spicy savory food!
