Fasting rules vary from house to house. Fasting is observed so that the food we consume is light and healthy. General fasting ingredients include singhara atta, milk, yogurt, fresh fruits, potatoes, peanuts,a few spices etc.
Today I am going to share a unique curry made with buttermilk and potatoes, which we usually eat during fasts. Ingredients required for this curry are very basic and easily available in your house.
Buttermilk curry or Chaas Wadu Shaak is generally made during Ram Navmi, Janmashtami and Ekadasi. Along with this sabzi we also make sabudana khichdi, rajigra puri, shrikhand, mari wadu shaak(peppered potatoes), green coriander chutney and buttermilk. A complete fasting thali.
For making Chaas Wadu Shaak we need to do a few preparations
First step. Boil, peel and mash a few potatoes
Second step. Deep fry peanuts and keep it aside
So lets proceed step by step for making buttermilk curry
Heat oil in a thick deep bottom vessel

Stir the buttermilk for 1 minute and then add some lemon juice
Continuously keep stirring the buttermilk on low flame otherwise it will splutter
Add sugar and salt to taste
When the buttermilk comes to boil add the boiled and mashed potatoes
