Vrat Wala Aloo Ka Raita

Aloo Raita is a simple and easy whisked curd that is loaded with chopped boiled potatoes. This raita is not only delicious but also nutritious which you may take as a vrat ka khana or fasting food. You can make this aloo raita on any fasting day like Navratra, Ekadashi or Janmashtami.

Potatoes are a good source of fibres, potassium, vitamin C and vitamin B6. Potatoes are considered as a heart healthy food because of lack of cholesterol.
