The Purifying Meal of Nahay Khay

On the initial day of Chhath, the Vrati eats a strictly limited, pure dish called Kaddu Bhaat to cleanse the digestive tract and get ready for the fast.

How to Prepare Kaddu Ki Sabzi

Ingredients: Fresh bottle gourd (Kaddu/Lauki), pure cow ghee, Sendha Namak (rock salt), green chilies, and a pinch of cumin.

Method: The vegetable is prepared completely without turmeric, onions, or garlic. It is gently sautéed in ghee and then simmered in its own juices until soft. It is accompanied by plain Arwa Chawal (rice) and basic Chana Dal (Bengal gram), both cooked on a clean mud stove.
