Fasting days like Shravan or Navratri shouldn't mean missing out on nourishing food. I prepare traditional Vrat meals using pure, permissible ingredients like Sabudana, Rajgira, and fresh produce, delivered straight from my Matunga kitchen.

About Vrat ka Khana (Fasting Meals)

Fasting doesn’t mean you have to settle for bland food. For my Vrat thalis, I strictly avoid onion, garlic, and non-permitted grains, relying instead on pure ghee, sendha namak, and fresh, seasonal produce. Whether it’s fluffy Sabudana Khichdi or crispy Farali Kachori, everything is made from scratch in my Matunga kitchen, exactly as I prepare it for my own family.
