Tips:
- You can use Ghee (Desi Ghee or Dalda) and peanut oil for fasting recipes.
- Adding Peanuts is optional, but it gives nice crunch to potatoes.
- You can skip coriander powder and coriander leaves, if you don’t eat them during fasting.
- You can also add dry mango powder (amchur) or dry pomegranate seeds powder (anardana powder) instead of lemon juice. Some families use dry mango powder during fasting and some don’t.
- Vrat Ke Aloo tastes great when prepared little spicy by adding green chili and ginger.
