"Nag Panchami" Festival Special

"Nag Panchami" is a traditional festival of the worship of snakes or serpents observed by Hindus throughout India and also in Nepal.
Just like all other Hindu festivals, onion and garlic and not consumed on these days...and the focus is all about "sathvik" food...
Also, any kind of seasoning is not done in the kitchen...
Now adhering to these rules...cooking is not so easy...so to simplify the thinking and cooking process, konkanis have a standard set menu for that day...
"Pathrode" a steamed side dish and "Patholi" a steamed dessert...
