Vrat and Navratri fasting relies on a short list of staples — sabudana, makhana, rajgira (amaranth), kuttu (buckwheat), singhara and potato. They differ hugely in potassium: sabudana and makhana are safe, while kuttu and rajgira carry a heavy load. This list ranks them so kidney patients can fast safely.
