  • People also fast during the month of Shrawan. The fast can be 'broken' on the Shrawan 15 if you invite people over to your house and feed them delicious Kheer (Rice Pudding) and other vegetable curries (such as Alu Dum, Alu Tama, Paneer) and possibly sukuti. Doing so will instill on you all the blessing of fasting throughout the month while only have fasted for 15 days. Sweet Deal?
