Aloo Matar, Boondi Ka Raita, White Pumpkin Bhaaji, Masalewaali Bhindi With Dal Parantha & Salad)
Fasting is done on Monday as it is considered very auspicious to fast for four to five Mondays in the month of Sawan. This fasting is considered equivalent to 16 Monday fast, that is why every body tries to appease Lord Shiva by adulating or meditating these days. Young girls also perform “Gauri puja” to get their dream boy. Every devotee deifies Lord Shiva for one reason or the other.
I am fasting on these auspicious days of Sawan. I cooked food with out onion & garlic on this day. Recipes are very simple & fast to cook.
