Presenting a zero oil vrat ki thali that you can enjoy during vrat or fasting, with recipes that are simple to follow.
Many Indian festivals involve fasting, such as Navratri, Janmashtami, Ganesh Chaturthi, Karwa Chauth, Varalakshmi vratam (varamahalakshmi pooja), Shravan (Sawan) month, Diwali, and others.
The whole idea of fasting during festivals is to detox our bodies, and so the meals should be light and easy to digest. But usually, we end up preparing fried food during our vrat, or fasting, and end up spoiling our digestive system more during the period. Having said that, it doesnโt mean we should not enjoy fried stuff, but in moderation and not as a meal.
So we are sharing a zero oil vrat ki thali recipe that you can enjoy guilt-free.ย All the recipes we’re presenting are simple to make. We have already shared the vrat ki thali recipe, so we thought let us do something unique and healthy by preparing zero oil vrat ki thali this time and add to our collection of vrat recipes.

Instructions
Sama Chawal ki Tikki
- Wash sama ke chawal thoroughly. Drain excess water and take the washed sama rice in pressure cooker along with 1 cup water and salt.
- Pressure cook for 2 whistles. Once the pressure settles, open the lid of the cooker and take the cooked sama rice in a plate.
- While the sama rice is still hot, add mashed potato, sendha namak, jeera powder and chopped coriander leaves. Mix everything well and combine to make a smooth dough. It is ok if you are not able to make a dough from the mixture, just make sure everything is combined well and you can easily make tikki out of the mixture.
- Shape tikkis from the mixture. Dry roast tikkis on a medium flame. Use non-stick pan to roast the tikkis easily without sticking to the pan.
Aloo Sabzi
- In a mixer jar, combine ginger, green chilies, and coriander leaves. Blend once. Now add yogurt, jeera powder, sendha namak, and rajgira atta. Blend to make a smooth paste.
- In a pan, add boiled potato cubes. To it, add salt and ยผ teaspoon cumin seeds powder. Stir and roast the potatoes for 2-3 minutes on a low flame. Now add the prepared paste and mix.
- Add ยฝ cup water and mix. Cover and let it simmer for about 5 minutes. Stir once in between. After 5 minutes, check the consistency and add water if required. Serve hot.
Paneer Sabzi
- In a pressure cooker, combine dudhi, cashews, a piece of cinnamon stick, cloves, black pepper, cardamom, jeera powder, ginger, green chilies, sendha namak, and water. Stir.
- Pressure cook on high flame for 1 whistle, reduce the flame, and cook for 10-12 minutes.
- Once pressure releases, open the lid and let the mixture cool down. We have removed whole spices and green chilies before grinding. But if you wish, you can grind them along and if required later strain the puree once.
- Once cooled, blend to a smooth paste.
- Take the paste into the same cooker and let it boil. Then add sugar and paneer cubes. Check and add salt. Cook for another 2-3 minutes. Serve hot.
