Sawan, the auspicious month of fasting and devotion, calls for a Satvik lunch that is light, nutritious, and prepared without onions, garlic, or any strong spices. Here are five tips to help you prepare a wholesome Satvik lunch during Sawan.
Tip 1
Opt for fresh, seasonal fruits and vegetables that are abundant during Sawan. Include nutrient-rich vegetables like lauki, kaddu and leafy greens.
Tip 2
Incorporate wholesome grains and pulses like rice, whole wheat, moong dal, and lentils into your menu, that provide nutrients & are gentle on the digestive system.
Tip 3
Satvik cooking emphasizes using ghee or sesame oil for preparation. These traditional cooking mediums not only add a great flavour but also have many health benefits.
Tip 4
While preparing Satvik meals, use mild spices like cumin, coriander, and fennel seeds, as they are easier to digest. Fresh herbs like mint and basil are great too.
Tip 5
Dairy products like curd, milk, and paneer are essential components of a Satvik lunch. Add nuts for a well-balanced meal.
