The awaited festival of Chaitra Navratri has begun today, on 13 April, and will end on 22 April. It falls in the spring season, thus called Vasant Navratri too. The auspicious festival
lasts for nine days, celebrating nine incarnations of Goddess Durga.
For these nine days, devotees fast for consecutive days and avoid several food ingredients according to family rituals. People often consider skipping onion, garlic, alcohol, and meat, etc, and have traditional foods like Aloo ki sabzi, Kuttu, and Singhara atta puri for fasting. However, eating the same two or three dishes for nine long days can be a little enervating.
Here are some delicious recipes that will make your heart happy without breaching your devoutness.
Sabudana Thalipeeth
The delightful pancakes having tapioca pearls, mashed potatoes, ground peanuts, and spices will make you enthusiastic for fasting. The soft and crisp pancakes are also called Upvasache
Thalipeeth and Sabudana roti.
Singhare ke Atte ka Samosa
The recipe includes fasting ingredients such as water chestnut flour, sendha namak, and spiced chironji. The tea time snack can be served with coriander chutney.
Aloo ki Kadhi
Make your Navratri more special with this unique dish. Replace besan with singhade ka atta and the recipe for the rest is the same. If you avoid red chilies during fast, you may replace
them with green chilies.
