In India, the month of 'Shravan' is a very auspicious month. People travel to famous places to worship God Shiva and offer Jal Abhishek on Shiv Lingam specially on Mondays to get his blessings.
From childhood I have been keeping Fast on this day to get a nice husband. It is a well known faith back in India that if girls, women do this fast on Mondays and offer 'Jal' Water to God Shiva, they will get good husband.
I have continued the ritual even after my marriage to thank Shiva for giving me hubby which is perfect for me in all sense. :)
So the recipe for today is one of the famous Maharashtrian dish which is normally consumed by those who had observe a Fast on any religious day.
This recipe- Sabodana Khichadi is very yummy and can go as a breakfast item as well, fast or no fast.
