I am posting the link of “Urad dal-Moong dal-Rava Idly” below, the recipe is the same for khotto too, the only difference being that I prepared them as khottos ie steamed them in prepared jackfruit leaves basket, you can prepare them as Idlies too or if the leaves are available to you and you know to prepare the baskets do so and enjoy them as khottos. ** Without repeating the recipes which have already been posted before, I am sharing the link to them below, please go through the links for that particular dish which you would love to check up on. A little bit of raw mangoes after preparing the chutney was remaining of which I prepared just a wee bit of “Ambuli Pachodi (Spiced Raw Mango)" for hubby, who loves to have it. This time I prepared “Udidu-Moongadali-Rulava Khotto (Urad dal-Moong dal-Rava Idly)” which I served with “Coconut-Ambuli (Raw Mango)-Alle' (Ginger) Chutney”. Mostly it urad dal and moong dal in combination, be it as idly or as dosa with some chutney. We have it around mid morning and at night and for lunch we have some dosa or idly prepared without addition of rice. Milk is a must during Shivratri and I have always made it a point to prepare "Kesar-Badam Doodh (Saffron-Almond Milk)”, as it is quite filling and gives relief from hunger pangs. There are a few more items that are also best avoided during fasting. In Konkani Saraswat Community for fasting we avoid, non-veg, onion, garlic and all dishes that include rice in it. ** Coming to observing fasting, it is difficult to avoid food completely as one ages due to lot of health issues. The tradition of Jala Abhishek to the Shivlinga is followed to date in my home and I always feel that it is one of the best gifts from my Mother to me. This Shivlinga was brought from Rameshwaram from my father about 60 yrs back and is very precious to me. I have also posted below a picture of a very old heirloom of stoneware “Shivlinga” that was passed on as a blessing to me from my Mother when my father passed away. Visiting this temple and offering Rudrabhisheka to the lord somehow gives me a inner satisfaction and peace in heart and mind, something we always happened to observe as children. Even now when I visit my hometown which unfortunately has stopped now, I always made a point to visit this temple know as Kadri Manjunatha Temple, even if it is for a few minutes. We visited this temple several times a year as it was nearby and somehow that attachment has stayed to date. ** Almost every Manglorean must have visited at least once to this temple, if not at least heard about it as it is world famous having spring water tanks in its vicinity and people from all over the world come to take holy dip in it. My mother made us have head bath, were fresh clothes and took us to the temple early in the morning before even having breakfast, say around 5.30 am to offer Milk Abhisheka to Shivlinga in the Temple.
#Maha shivratri 2019 upvas how to
I am not preaching here to anyone, it is ones own choice how to lead their life, it is just that during my childhood we lived near the most famous Lord Shivji temple that is in kadri in Mangalore city. But having observed fasting from childhood it is not easy to now not do so and it makes me uncomfortable to not follow certain religious traditions. Well after having health issues for over a decade now, I have stopped the same and do not go fasting so strictly as I used to, though I wish I could. Decades back I used to observe it strictly having only Kesar Badam Doodh and some fruits through the day. ** Maha Shivratri is a auspicious day for almost all Hindus all round the globe and many of us do observe fasting the whole day eating only those dishes that are allowed for fasting in each ones community.
