About this plan

For Gujarati households Shravan is the most observed month of the year: onion and garlic leave the kitchen entirely, many fast on Mondays for Shiv and on Fridays for the Jivantika vrat, and farali food becomes a cuisine of its own. This week is written around exactly that pattern.

Monday and Friday are complete farali days — sabudana khichdi, moraiyo khichdi with farali kadhi, rajgira puri, farali pattice — all cooked with sendha namak, so they hold up whether you eat once or twice that day. The days in between are everyday satvik Gujarati food: dal-bhaat-rotli-shaak, dal dhokli, kadhi khichdi, sev tameta, with monsoon gourds doing the vegetable work. Sunday is the festive day — fafda jalebi with papaya sambharo in the morning, shrikhand puri for lunch.

There is deliberately no leafy shaak this week — most households set greens aside during the monsoon month — and the grocery list, written for a family of four, contains no onion or garlic at all.

Questions about this plan

Are the Monday and Friday menus proper upvas food?
Yes. Everything on those two days is built from farali ingredients — sabudana, moraiyo, rajgira, potatoes, peanuts, curd — and seasoned with sendha namak, which is on the grocery list. Cumin and green chillies are used; if your family's vrat is stricter, drop those and the menus still work.
We fast only on Mondays, not Fridays. What do I cook on Friday?
Repeat any of the regular days — Thursday's tuver dal with tindora nu shaak carries over well because the ingredients are already in the list. The farali days are self-contained, so skipping one changes nothing else in the week.
Why is there no leafy shaak in the whole week?
By monsoon custom — most Gujarati homes set aside leafy greens for Shravan, both for the rains and for the month's satvik discipline. Dudhi, turiya, tindora and bhinda are at their best right now and do the shaak duty instead.
