There is a tradition of worshiping Mahadev in the month of Sawan. It is said that whoever worships Lord Shiva with a true heart in this holy month, Bholenath fulfills all their wishes and removes their suffering. This is the reason why people especially worship Bholenath on the Monday of Sawan to please him. Along with this, many people also keep fast on Monday.
Although the fast of Sawan is not so difficult, but still many people are not able to stay hungry during the fast. Staying hungry starts making their health worse. Due to this, we are going to tell you about such a Kalahari nankeen, which you can prepare and keep before the fast. You can calm your hunger by eating it little by little during the fast. It is very easy to make and you can also store it for many days.
Ingredients for making Falahari Namkeen
1 cup peanuts
1 cup cashews
1 cup makhana
1 cup sago
1/2 cup thin slices of coconut
1/2 cup raisins
2-3 green chillies
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon rock salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper powder
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon ghee
Method of making Namkeen
To make this Namkeen, first heat some ghee in a pan. Then add sago to it and fry it on medium flame. When the sago is well-fried, take it out on a plate. After frying the sago, add makhana to the pan and fry it. After frying, take them out and keep them aside.
After this, fry peanuts and cashews in the pan as well. Add thin slices of coconut to the pan and fry till it becomes light golden. After this, add raisins as well fry a little, and take them out. Put some ghee in the pan and add cumin seeds to it. When the cumin seeds start crackling, add finely chopped green chilies and fry lightly.
Now add roasted sabudana, makhana, peanuts, cashews, coconut, and raisins and mix well. Now add rock salt, black pepper powder, and sugar (if you want) and mix well. Fry it well on low flame.
Let the Falahari Namkeen cool down and then store it in an airtight container. It can be eaten during Vrat or fasting. You can add more dry fruits or spices as per your choice.
