Arbi Fried | Vrat Recipes
During navratri and janmashtmi
fasts many food items, especially many seeds and spices are not
allowed to be eaten. Many people
eat carom seeds (ajwain) whereas others do not. I researched and
came to know that carom seeds
are actually not seeds but fruits
of ajwain plant, and can be thus consumed during fast. Please
check with your family elders
as to what can be taken and what cannot be taken during fast, and
tweak the recipe accordingly.
