Shravan changes a Maharashtrian kitchen before it changes anything else: the onion and garlic go up on the shelf, the cooking turns satvik, and Monday becomes an upvas day. This week is written entirely inside those rules — every dish, from the sabudana khichdi to the Sunday puran poli, is cooked without onion or garlic, so nothing needs adapting.
The week follows the rhythm of the month itself. Monday is Shravani Somvar: sabudana khichdi and varai bhagar with danyachi amti carry the fast through the day, and the traditional varan bhaat breaks it in the evening. Friday brings the Shravani Shukravar touches — kala chana usal beside varan bhaat, the chane that go with the Jivti puja. Saturday breakfast is gopalkala, the curd-poha of Dahi Handi, and Sunday cooks the festive food of the month: patoli steamed in turmeric leaves, then puran poli with katachi amti.
Aluchi patal bhaji is here because Shravan is exactly when alu leaves are at their monsoon best. Grocery quantities are for a family of four — and you will notice the list contains no onion or garlic at all.
