Navratri is just started by today. It is 9 nights and 10 days festival. In this festival, people worship the ‘Matarani’. And many devotees observe the fast on these 9 days. I also keep the fast and on the first day, I have made this aloo ki sabzi and rajgira paratha as a meal. It was filling meal. 

Potato is the most commonly used in any dish during the fasting whether it is sabudana vada or sabudana thalipeeth or rajgira roti or rajgira puri. Potato is added in almost all the recipes.
