Fasting doesn’t mean giving up on flavour or nutrition. In fact, traditional Indian falahari (fasting) snacks are designed to keep you light, energized, and satisfied while staying true to dietary guidelines. Whether it’s Navratri, Ekadashi, or any other fasting day, these snacks bring you the best of sattvik ingredients and delicious taste. Here are 6 falahari snacks you must try when you’re fasting but still want that chatpata crunch!
1. Farali Peanut
Roasted peanuts seasoned with jeera, sendha namak, and a hint of ghee – this simple yet protein-rich snack is a go-to during fasts. Packed with healthy fats and satisfying crunch, it keeps your energy levels steady without weighing you down.
2. Farali Makhana
Makhana (fox nuts) are a superfood loved across Bihar and UP, especially during fasting. Lightly roasted and tossed with sendha namak, they’re rich in calcium and low in calories – making them an ideal choice for guilt-free munching.
3. Falahari Mix
This traditional chiwda includes sabudana, aloo lachha, peanuts, and even dry fruits, all seasoned with fasting-friendly spices. It’s a crunchy, flavorful blend that gives you both nutrition and variety in a single handful.
4. Sabudana Chips
Thin, crispy, and made from sago pearls, sabudana chips are loved across India for their satisfying texture. Often enjoyed with a cup of vrat chai, they provide quick energy and taste amazing with a dash of rock salt.
5. Aloo Lachha
These shredded, deep-fried potato sticks are crunchy and addictive. When made with sendha namak and pure oil, they qualify as a falahari favorite. Great as a standalone snack or as part of a mix.
6. Rajgira Chikki Bites
Rajgira (amaranth) is a fasting staple rich in iron and fiber. When combined with jaggery into bite-sized chikkis, it becomes both a sweet treat and a lasting source of energy during your fast.
