Karwa Chauth 2024: The Sargi thali holds immense significance and importance during Karwa Chauth for all married women. It is a pre-dawn meal that provides energy throughout the day, so it is essential to choose wisely what you include in your Sargi thali. A well-balanced Sargi should have fresh fruits like pomegranates, oranges, apples, and coconut water, especially items rich in fiber to help maintain energy levels.
You can also add dry fruits such as almonds, walnuts, and dates, along with a bowl of yogurt, delicious parathas or whole wheat rotis, hydrating foods like coconut water or lemonade, and traditional sweets like phirni or kheer. Including these nutritious, healthy, and tasty food items in your Sargi thali can make your fasting experience smoother and more fulfilling. Here, we have curated the most important food items to include in your diet.
Fruits
Your Sargi thali plays a crucial role in Karwa Chauth and should be filled with fresh fruits such as oranges, pineapple, pomegranate, or coconut water. Including mostly citrus fruits helps keep you well-hydrated throughout the day.
Sooji Halwa
Instead of consuming heavy or sugar-laden sweets, opt for delicious, homemade aata or sooji halwa.
Stuffed Roti
Your Sargi thali should be rich in fibrous components to prevent bloating or acidity during the day. Prepare fresh and scrumptious paneer-stuffed roti, which is a good source of protein and will keep you satiated.
Vegetables And Curd
Traditionally, the Sargi plate consists of 7, 9, or 11 types of items. Make the thali healthier by adding cheela, roti, stuffed paratha, vegetables, curd, and whole-grain flour.
Coconut Water
Start your day with fresh coconut water, especially on an empty stomach, to boost digestion and keep you energized throughout the day.
