Vrat/fasting days — simple, filling meals beyond sabudana khichdi?
On fasting days (vrat) the usual choices—sabudana khichdi, fried potato, dry fruits—get repetitive. Curious about easy, vrat-friendly meals you actually make that feel filling and don't need long prep or fancy ingredients. Any simple swaps, one-pan ideas, or pantry-friendly combos that have worked for you?

Quick guiding principle: combine a source of complex carb (sabudana, samak/barnyard millet, kuttu/buckwheat, singhada/ water‑chestnut flour, sweet potato) with a small protein/fat (peanuts, roasted seeds, hung curd/yogurt, paneer, or a spoon of peanut/til butter). That improves satiety and steadier energy. Practical, short ideas: - Samak (vrat) rice upma/pulao: one pan, roast jeera, add samak, veggies, roasted peanuts. - Kuttu cheela (buckwheat pancakes): make batter with water, salt, green chillies; pan‑fry; serve with curd. - Rajgira (amaranth) khichdi or porridge: cook with potato, peanuts, ghee and mild spices. - Singhada atta rotla/paratha: make dough, cook on tawa; pair with hung curd or peanut chutney. - Sweet potato chaat: boiled/microwaved cubes, peanuts, lemon, chaat masala — very quick and filling. - Sabudana khichdi variation: add roasted peanuts, grated coconut, and a spoon of ghee for more calories and protein. Pantry tips: keep roasted peanuts/peanut powder, desiccated coconut, samak/buckwheat flour, singhada atta and canned/frozen peas on hand. Check your family's vrat rules (some households limit specific grains).
