What sattvik means
Sattvik food is prepared without onion, garlic, mushrooms or heavy spices, using ghee, fresh vegetables, milk products, whole grains and mild seasoning. It is common at pujas, katha events, temple functions and by many Vaishnav and Swaminarayan families.
Sample sattvik menu
Sabudana khichdi, aloo jeera (Jain: raw banana jeera), lauki kofta, paneer sattvik style, sattvik dal, jeera rice, phulka, salad without onion, raita, kheer, moong dal halwa.
Serving guidance
Keep sattvik items in a clearly labelled section with dedicated spoons. Do not use the same oil or utensils as regular items. Communicate this to guests via a small signage card on the buffet.
