The auspicious month of Sawan, or Shravan, comes with the responsibility of cooking meals that are simple but delicious. Here are six breakfast dishes for the days when you’re observing fast.

RAW BANANA HASHBROWNS

Add a desi twist to the American diner staple, originally made with potatoes, with some fibrous raw banana and enjoy with some puris or flatbread on the side.

MAKHANA CUTLETS

Light on the stomach and considered to be one of the most nutritious foods to eat during a fast, these makhana cutlets can be made in a jiffy.

RAJGIRA PURI

Made with amaranth flour, rajgira puris can be eaten with a host of accompaniments – potato sabzi, upwaas ki chutney or even sweetened yoghurt.

DRY FRUIT SMOOTHIE BOWL

Blend nuts that provide good fats, along with raisins, apricots and a frozen banana for a delicious sattvic breakfast option.

RAJGIRA ALOO PARATHA

The classic breakfast staple gets a fasting twist with a potato stuffing spiced with cumin seeds, green chillies, peanuts and a dollop of ghee on top.

FARALI DOSA

A fasting replacement made with sama ke chawal, the farali dosa is a good gluten-free option for when you crave South Indian food.
