My mum makes the best Potato curry while fasting. Simple and Clean flavors! Warming to the soul. Heartening and welcoming. Almost like a spicy potato soup. Another of my favorites during the fasting period is gluten free food. The Crepes / Chilas made with Rajgira (Amaranth) or Kuttu (Buckwheat) or Singoda (water chestnut) flours or mixing some. I simply love it.
