It is time for a Vegetarian Thali!
The month ‘Shravan’ is a Holy month for Hindus. With the festive fever of Lord Shiva and approaching Janmashtami, the month is more about vegetarian food and concepts. When we talk about food it is usually about non-vegetarian food, but vegetarian food can equally grab the place with delicious holding. So, here I present a combo Vegetarian thali of Sama rice pulao and Dahi kofta curry.
I have used two different recipes to make a suitable vegetarian thali for people who fast during the Holy month or otherwise. So, take note of this and enjoy your fastings. These recipes are without onion and garlic so much suitable for the Jains and people who do not consider onion and garlic as vegetarian food.
Sama Rice, also known as Sanwa millet, is mostly used during fastings. It is a good option to take after you break your fast. High in protein, and fibre which is very beneficial during fasts. This crop is widely used across the globe and is used for making different and delicious dishes.

Dahi or hung curd is very useful for the intestine. Summer gives lesser options for the use of vegetables. A simple yet delicious dish is most suitable during the season of fasting. A wholesome diet is important to keep the balance of the body devoid of non-vegetarian items.
