Bagar or Samo seed is something that very commonly eaten in North India during UPWAS. Some places it is also known as Vrat Ke Chawal. I can understand that why it is called so i think because of its broken rice like texture. Its a seed of a grass that grown along with rice in the fields but is not considered as a grain so can be eaten during upwas.
If you are someone who eats tomato during fast then its a satisfying preparation at the end of a long day of fast.
