11 Karva Chauth Sargi Dishes to Power Your Fast — Traditional and Modern Picks

7. Chia Seed Pudding with Milk and Fruit

Chia seed pudding is a modern, no-cook option that’s especially convenient for busy households. Soaked chia seeds swell into a creamy texture and provide fiber, omega-3s, and gentle protein when mixed with milk or a milk alternative. Adding fresh fruit gives natural sweetness and vitamins, while a few chopped nuts boost satiety. This is a good pick if you want a nutrient-dense, portable sargi that you can prep the night before. To make it, combine chia seeds and milk in a jar, sweeten lightly with honey or jaggery, and refrigerate overnight. Stir once after 10–15 minutes to avoid clumps. In the morning, top with seasonal fruit like mango or pomegranate and a sprinkle of chopped almonds. Keep portions moderate — two to three tablespoons of chia seeds per person is enough to feel sustained without being heavy.
