    (B) One whole corn bhutta roasted or boiled in a day in multiple servings or if you can eat it in single serving
    (C) Half a bowl of elephant foot yam (सुरण in Marathi) vegetable or shallow fried slices
    (D) A glass full of lady finger (Okra / भेंडी in Marathi) water: take one single lady finger cut it longitudinally and immerse it in one glass full of drinking water, keep it immersed overnight and in the morning take out the cut pieces, throw it away and drink the water
