Farali is a traditional dish primarily prepared during fasting times, especially in India, when people abstain from eating grains or other foods. It is prepared using ingredients that may be consumed when on religious fasting, giving it a delicious, nutritious choice instead of regular meals. The term "feral" refers to food eaten during a fast, and recipes vary according to regional preferences and the fast being observed. Farali recipe usually has ingredients like sabudana (tapioca pearls), sweet potatoes, buckwheat flour, and many nuts and fruits. A typical Farali dish may be a simple sabudana khichdi, saut ed in a mix of soaked sabudana, peanuts, green chillies, and mild spices, which can be delicious and filling. A sweet potato-based preparation, farali chaat or farali tikki, is another favourite during fasting. These dishes are at the same time both tasty and energy and nourishing without even the liberal use of regular cereals or pulses. The Farali can be savoury or sweet, depending on the ingredients and the fasting rules. Even sweet preparations like Farali kheer or Farali ladoos accompany coconut, sugar, and ghee during fasting. Be it savoury or sweet, frail food items are a treat with which to delight over fasting food that is flavourful, filling, and satisfying. Farali recipes are not only meant for special occasions but are a healthy alternative for anyone looking to enjoy a light, nutritious meal.

Cooking steps for Farali
- 1Farali Cuisine is a whole vibe, and trust me, it's not just for fasting—it's full of flavor, textures, and feels like you're living your best life even if you're avoiding certain foods for the day.
- 2Let's start with Sama Ke Chawal Kheer, a sweet little treat made from barnyard millet rice.
- 3First, boil ¼ cup of sama rice (barnyard millet) in 2.5 cups of milk and throw in a few strands of saffron for that pop of fragrance and color.
- 4When the rice softens and the milk thickens, stir in 5 tablespoons of sugar and let it simmer on low heat until it gets that perfect pudding-like consistency.
- 5For a little crunch, toast a handful of chopped almonds and cashews in 1/2 teaspoon of ghee and sprinkle it on top, along with a pinch of cardamom powder for that warm, cozy finish.
- 6It's like a hug in a bowl.
- 7If you're craving something savory, Farali Sabudana Pakoda is where it's at.
- 8Soak 1/2 cup of sabudana (tapioca pearls) until soft, then mix it with ¼ cup roasted and crushed peanuts, 2 green chilies (paste them if you want that extra heat), salt, black pepper, and 1/3 cup of yogurt to bind everything together.
- 9Throw in 2 tablespoons of rajgira (amaranth) flour to make them crispy when fried.
- 10Shape the mixture into little balls and deep fry until golden brown and crispy on the outside, soft on the inside.
- 11These crunchy, warm bites are perfection.
- 12Next up, Sama Rice Pulao—because you can't go wrong with a simple, comforting dish.
- 13Heat 1 tablespoon + 1/2 teaspoon ghee in a pan, add cumin seeds, cardamom pods, black pepper, and chopped green chilies.
- 14Saut some chopped potatoes, then add 1 cup of sama rice, and cook it with 2 cups of water until the rice is tender and fluffy.
- 15Season with salt, black pepper, and garnish with roasted peanuts, cashews, dry coconut, and a squeeze of lemon juice for that fresh burst.
- 16This is the perfect dish to fill you up without weighing you down.
- 17Finally, Rajgira Puri brings that perfect crunch to any meal—just mix 1.5 cups of rajgira flour with 1 boiled mashed potato, salt, and water to form the dough.
- 18Roll them into small puris and fry until golden and crispy.
- 19These puris are a gluten-free alternative to regular fried bread, making them a crunchy, satisfying addition to any meal.
