Since I cannot convince my father from giving up his fasts this is my suggestion to him. Thought in Karnataka Upma, Poha is acceptable for fasting this will be a change.
Rajgira Thalipeeth
Fasts, in India, are a common and frequent occurrence. What is more, they are taken very seriously by families. That said, fasts here do not generally mean no food at all. Quite the contrary actually- fasts entail special preparations and delicious substitutions. Generally while fasting, cereals are avoided.
Rajgira is one such non-cereal rich in nutrients. It literally means “royal grain”. This grain is, however, not native to India, but was cultivated by the Aztecs for more than 8000 years. The story of how it came to India is lost in the pages of history. There, it was known as Amaranth, which means “deathless.” Amaranth was the staple of the Aztecs until it was banned after the conquest of the Aztec nation. The plants, however, continued to grow as weeds. During the year 1970 however, the USA revived the grain and it is now available as flour and an oil seed.
Rajgira Thalipeeth is a part of Simple and Healthy Vegetarian Diet in Old Age my chosen theme for the Mega Marathon we are calling #Cooking Carnival and adapted from here.

Seema Sriram says
I really need to attempt making a thalipeeth. These rajgira thalipeeth you have made look so tempting. Do you serve it with any other sides other than curds?
ArchanaPotdar says
Fasting days its curds but try pickle, the Indian ones and raita.
Priya Srinivasan says
Rajgira thalipeeth looks hearty arch! In south it is mostly idly/dosa or upma for fasting days. The peanuts must be adding a nice crunch to the thalipeeth. An wholesome nutritious meal.
ArchanaPotdar says
I know about upma, dosas no 😀 Thanks.
Sujata Roy says
Wow Archana rajgira thalipeeth looks superbly delicious. Not only for fasting days but I would love to have it for feasting. I have some sago flour, I think I can use it to make this delicious thalipeeth.

Love making rajgira thalipeeth as a breakfast option even when not fasting. Like how you’ve added sago flour to it. I sometimes make with soaked sago. Will try next time with sago flour.
