No Onion Garlic

During Sawan, devotees avoid foods like garlic, onion and meat. Instead, they follow a satvik diet that includes ingredients such as sabudana, buckwheat flour, water chestnut flour, potatoes, fruits, milk, curd and other dairy products.

Unlike heavily spiced onion or moong dal kachoris, the Brijwasi version is quieter in its approach. The filling uses coarsely ground urad dal, sauted with hing, black pepper and ginger.

Many devotees observe a fast on every Monday of Sawan, also known as Sawan Somvar, seeking divine blessings.
