Cooking Jain is not a matter of leaving things out of an ordinary recipe. Take onion and garlic out of a North Indian gravy and what remains is thin. Jain kitchens solve this differently — asafoetida in the tempering, tomato and curd for body, sesame and peanut for richness, and besan-based dishes that never wanted onion in the first place.
This week draws mostly on Gujarati and Rajasthani cooking for that reason: dal-bhaat, kadhi-khichdi, thepla, dhokla, handvo, muthiya, gatte and sev-tameta are all naturally onion-free. Where a dish normally needs potato, raw banana takes its place with almost no difference on the plate.
No potato, sweet potato, carrot, beetroot, radish, fresh ginger, onion or garlic appears anywhere in the grocery list. Quantities are for a family of four.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner for all seven days. Import it and every slot lands in your planner, where you can swap any dish.

Two proper farali days built on moraiyo, rajgira and sabudana, satvik ghar nu khavanu in between, and a fafda-jalebi Sunday — the whole week without onion or garlic.
Curd, buttermilk, gourds and raw mango carry a week of food that is light on the stomach and short on stove time — for the months when nobody wants a heavy lunch.
Chicken twice, fish twice, eggs through the week and mutton on Sunday — with vegetarian meals in between so the week stays affordable and the cooking stays manageable.
