After a day of quiet respect for Naga Panchami, it’s time to break your fast. This isn’t just about eating; it’s about eating mindfully and healthily. You’re probably picking phalahari dishes, which are meals that don’t have grains, onions, garlic, or ordinary salt, like many vrat traditions. Instead, you’re focussing on light, energising, and easy-to-digest foods that will help you cleanse your body after spiritual concentrate. It’s about treating your body with respect and purity.
Delicious Ways to Rejuvenate After Your Naga Panchami Fast in Mumbai
Are you ready to restock? Here are some great ways to break your fast that will make you feel good and taste great:
Chilling and Fruity Treats: After a fast, nothing feels better than something cool and hydrating. Picture a colourful bowl of fruit and yoghurt. Put fresh, seasonal fruits like bananas, apples, and pomegranates on top of thick, creamy yoghurt. Adding some roasted nuts or a little honey to this basic dish makes it a real delight. It’s full of natural goodness and probiotics and gives you energy. Or, just have a big glass of Thick Lassi or Buttermilk, maybe with a little sugar or a little sendha namak and roasted cumin to spice it up. Mumbai always loves this classic that gives you a lot of energy.
Savoury Sabudana Recipes: There is a reason why sago pearls are a must-have for fasting: they fill you up, give you energy, and go with so many flavours. Sabudana Khichdi, a classic warm, soothing dish made with boiled potatoes, roasted peanuts, green chillies, and sendha namak, might be your go-to. It’s a delicious Vrat Ka Khana that people in Mumbai really depend on. You might also treat yourself to Sabudana Vada after your fast. These tasty patties are composed with sago, mashed potatoes, and peanuts and are deep-fried or air-fried for a healthier twist.
Makhana Goodness Full of Nutrients: Fox nuts are a great way to break your fast because they are light, crunchy, and full of wonderful things. Just dry roast Makhana with a little ghee and sendha namak for a quick, healthful snack. Or, if you want something sweet, you can make Makhana Kheer by simmering makhana in milk with jaggery or sugar and cardamom.
