If you want to fast and worship, Lord Vishnu is the deity you should go to. People offer varieties of prasadams and after offering it to God during worship, eat them. After you break your fast,. It is advisable to consume these dishes. Do something good to others on this day, be good to someone, think good of someone, wish good to a few, and lastly feel good about yourself for doing all these.

You are allowed to snack during the time of fasting, and you should only pick those dishes that are prescribed for that particular festival. Here are some dishes lined up to answer your gastronomic cravings.

1. Puranpoli is basically a sweet paratha which is popular in Maharashtra. It is a special occasion dish that is made out of a stuffing of gram dal, jaggery and sugar which is then folded into flour and kneaded into rotis. Cardamom and fennel can be added to enhance the flavour. Cooking it in ghee will convert it into a heavenly blessing.

2. Shrikhand gives instant energy as it is made with curds, cardamom, saffron, sugar and fruit puree. Preparing it on the Akshaya Tritiya will make the festival memorable and may appear on your menu more frequently the entire year.
