Maha Shivratri is a Hindu festival dedicated to Lord Shiva and is observed by many devotees who fast as a form of worship.
While fasting, it's important to consume foods that are light, easy to digest, and following the dietary restrictions followed during the fast.
Here are food items commonly consumed during Maha Shivratri fasting:
Made from soaked tapioca pearls, peanuts, potatoes, and spices, sabudana khichdi is a popular fasting food.
A mix of various fruits like bananas, apples, oranges, and grapes can provide essential nutrients and keep you energized during the fast.
Potatoes are widely used in fasting recipes, including dishes like aloo jeera, aloo tamatar sabzi, or mashed potatoes.
A glass of milk or milk-based beverages like fruit shakes or smoothies can provide protein and essential nutrients.
Nutritious and energy-dense, dry fruits like almonds, cashews, and raisins make for excellent snacks during fasting.
Regular salt is avoided during fasting, so rock salt is used as a substitute in dishes to enhance flavor.
