Can you Eat Cheese in Fasting? Yes You can (some of them.) this version of Purple Yam, looks more tempting to me and my daughter, after I made this, she got this done more than 4 times in 2 days from her mom. And this is Suitable for everyone who are Fasting in the month Shravan. • So this all begun with - Steamed, half Cooked Purple Yam, if you’re going to create any version of it, better cook it since we had other plans so it was already Steamed up (it’s not Boiled.) the version earlier I presented was Raw Fried, just sliced and deep fried till they were Crisp. - Let’s talk about this, so when they’re Steamed & Fried, they get Crispy quickly & they rise a little due to the starchy content. These Crispy Purple Yam are too good (We call it Kand). • But The Secrete was in the Cheesy deep - Mast Ek Dum. Homemade Cream Cheese that doesn’t have any other ingredients nor it’s matured so it can be consumed during fasts, with 4 Tablespoons of Cheese I added fresh Whey to smoothen it, with a slight pinch of Salt (as I don’t eat much salt) & half Tea Soon of Tamarind & Date Chutney/Sauce whichever you have. Don’t Mix it well, else the color with get mixed up and you won’t find this great Color in it & you won’t get that burst of flavors in your mouth. With this, I also added Thinnest Cuts of Steamed Yam that looks more like “Cold Cuts.” • Finally - Pinch of Masala that’s sprinkled on Purple Yam & Enjoy. These are some small & simplest ways to make Shravan even more craving for great food combinations and I guarantee that these new add one will change the ways of all these years you’ve been fasting.
