This year Maha Shivratri is being celebrated on 8th of March. Mahashivratri, a Hindu festival honouring Lord Shiva, is celebrated with fasting, prayer, and devotion across India. It symbolizes overcoming darkness and ignorance, embracing light and knowledge.
If you're fasting on Mahashivratri, here's a simple recipe you can try. Make potato halwa in minutes.
Take 2 boiled potatoes and mash them properly. Add 2-3 tablespoons of ghee in a hot pan and put the mashed potatoes into it. Mix it properly until it gets golden brown.
