My husband usually fasts for the whole of the Shrawan month and I have to try my best to make different farar/falhar dishes for him. This dry sweet potato khichedi which my MIL used to make a lot was a winner. There are certain foods we are allowed to eat during the Hindu fasts. I only know which foods are allowed from remembering what my parents cooked on such occasions. Occasionally, I see recipes for Farari dishes of foods I would never eat but that’s fine as everyone has their own traditions to follow. I know that potatoes, sweet potatoes, fruit, milk and nuts were allowed so I made this easy peasy stir fry sweet potato dish, with some nuts, which can be eaten on its own.
2. Heat the oil and add the cumin seeds and curry leaves. As soon as the cumin browns, add the nuts so they too brown lightly.
3. Add the sweet potatoes, ginger and chilies and stir. Cover and allow the sweet potatoes to soften for 5 minutes. Next add the desiccated coconut and stir. The sweet potatoes cook very quickly so just add lemon juice and garnish with coriander and serve.
4. Serve it hot.
More farari recipes can be found in my blog. Some of them are listed in the post below:
