Details

Samvat rice (#barnyardmillets) or Vrat chawal as it is also called makes a good alternative to rice during #Ekadashi and other festivals especially during #VaralakshmiPuja and #Navratras when one is fasting.

Samvat rice kheer / #millet kheer is not only delicious but nutritious too for the fasting days and keeps you full.

A small bowl of this nutritious kheer with some fruits should see you through the long day of fasting and praying.
