Sawan or Shravan is the fifth month in the Hindu calendar and is deemed very auspicious. The month comes after Aashad, as per the Hindu calendar. It's the most auspicious month for worshippers of Lord Shiva. Many devotees follow a strict diet that includes everything light and comforting. The vrat or fasting period on every Monday of this month, also known as Sawan Somwar, requires special attention on what foods to consume and what to avoid. Keeping these restrictions in mind, many restaurants offer special Sawan menus, which you can explore on food delivery apps. If you are looking for some food items to prepare this month, we have you covered with these hand-picked specialties:

Here Are Some Recipes To Cook During Sawan 2025:

1. Sabudana

Sabudana, which is also known as sago or tapioca pearls, is a non-cereal high-protein choice of food. Extracted from the starch of tapioca plants, it is a primary source of carbohydrates in many cultures. Make this yummy sabudana khichdi when hungry.

You can opt for these healthy options any day, considering the good fat in them. Mix them together or just grab a handful of your favourites. It's good as a snack during fasting and as an ingredient in other meals.
