Sawan is a month of fasting, but monsoon is a season of indulging in snacks. How to combine the both for foodies? Here are some low-calorie sattvic snacks you could try out for Sawan.
Made with sago or sabudana, peanuts, veggies and mild spices, this dish is a popular fasting snack during Sawan.
Just like flattened rice, flattened jowar flakes are easily available across India and can be used to make poha.
Roasted makhana is a light and crunchy snack in itself, and you need very little else to turn this goodie into a chaat.
Most people have kuttu and lauki pakoras during vrats separately, but how about mixing the both together?
Replace rice with samak or barnyard millet to make idlis, and you’ll be able to enjoy a nutritious snack indeed.
Made from split green moong dal, this dhokla variety is a steamed snack that is light and protein-rich.
Kuttu ka cheela or pancake is a popular fasting snack while also being light, low-calorie and nutritious too.
Thinai is the Tamil name for foxtail millets and Thinai Paniyaram is an incredible, veggie-packed snack.
Rajgira is a commonly consumed grain during fasting and you can mix it with jaggery and nuts to make a yummy chikki.
Sweet potatoes are a nutritious and filling snack choice, and making a chaat with them is the easiest thing.
