As festival season approaches and specially the month of Shravan enters a Hindu household, most of the days you find people observing fasts and following rituals. Here is a recipe for people who fast and would like a bite for breakfast or an evening snack on such days.

Patties for fasts

Ingredients

200 gms of crumbled cottage cheese, you can choose low fat

1/2 cup finely chopped red and yellow bell peppers each

Small bunch of finely chopped coriander

1/2 cup boiled and mashed purple yam

1/4 cup buckwheat flour

1/4 cup samo rice flour

1/4 cup sago pearl flour

1/4 cup amaranth flour

Salt to taste

Chilli powder to taste

1 tspoon cumin powder

Mix all ingredients well, do not add extra water as far as possible since the cottage cheese has enough moisture. Now make patties in the desired shape and pan fry, just with a little clarified butter smeared on them. Let them turn into light golden brown on both sides and you can savour these with the chutney or as they are with your tea, coffee or you can join me!
