Upvas-friendly picks

An honest guide. Most of our shelf — achaar, chutneys, masalas — contains garlic or onion, so it isn't for fasting days. These are the jars that are: made for upvas, or naturally suited to it, including our sweet achaars.

The upvas classic 🥜

Our Upvas Groundnut Chutney is made specifically for fasting days — no onion, no garlic. Stir it into sabudana khichdi, sprinkle over vari-cha-bhaat, or mix with curd and upvas batata for an instant koshimbir.

The sweet achaars 🍯

Our sweet lemon and sweet mango achaar are the goad (jaggery) style, made without onion or garlic. That mild sweet-sour bite is what most upvas plates are missing: good with sabudana khichdi, vari-cha-bhaat, rajgira poori or plain curd rice.

Ghee — the fast's best friend 🐄

Upvas cooking runs on ghee — sabudana khichdi, rajgira sheera, roasted shengdana. Our cow ghee and buffalo ghee are slow-made and small-batch — see how we make them.

Always check the label ✔️

Fasting customs differ between families — some allow certain spices, some don't. The full ingredient list is on every jar's label, and if you're unsure about anything, ask us on WhatsApp — we'll tell you straight, including what isn't suitable.
