Starting with Tulsi Dal and water: While breaking the fast, first of all offer it to Lord Vishnu and then start the fast by drinking Tulsi leaves (Tulsi Dal) and Charanamrit or clean water. Only after this consume satvik food.

It is prohibited to break the fast during ‘Hari Vasar’
In religious language, the next day of Ekadashi i.e. the first one-fourth (1/4) of Dwadashi Tithi is called ‘Hari Vasar’ It is said. There is a clear instruction in the scriptures that one should not break the fast during Hari Vasar. If you do Parana at this time, the virtue of the fast may be destroyed. One should always wait for the Hari Vasar period to pass.

Avoid Parana during afternoon time: The best and most fruitful time to break the fast is in the morning. The fast should never be broken at midday i.e. afternoon. If due to some unavoidable reason or compulsion you have not been able to observe Parana in the morning Muhurta, then break your fast only after the afternoon time has passed (in the third quarter).

Distance from Tamasic food: The food you consume after breaking the fast should be completely satvik. Do not use onion, garlic or heavy oil and spices in food.
