The festival of Chaitra Navratri will soon arrive. On this festival, devotees keep a nine-day fast. In addition to avoiding meat and alcohol, they also forgo certain spices, vegetables, and other foods. In addition to its religious importance, fasting during this period has a relationship to seasonal changes. Devotees tend to select recipes high in nutrients that promote energy and are simple to digest. You must have begun preparing your meals in accordance with the guidelines if you're maintaining a vrat this year. Desserts might be a little more difficult to prepare than snacks or meals that are perfect for a vrat. But fear not, for those who love sweets, here are some vrat-friendly dessert ideas.
Singhara Atta Halwa
Water chestnut flour, often referred to as singhare ka atta, is a staple during Navratri fasts. Since traditional atta and maida are not meant to be taken during the fast, this substitute is used instead. In addition to the regular recipes for puris, parathas, kadhis, and tikkis, you may also use it for sweet meals. This is a really tasty halwa made with water chestnut flour and dried fruits. Make your halwa poori suitable for vrats at home by serving this halwa with singhara atte ki pooris.
Coconut Ladoos
A straightforward vrat dessert is coconut laddoo. Because coconut is regarded as a Sattvic food in Hinduism and is said to have a cooling effect on the body, this halwa is a great option for Chaitra Navratri. This is especially useful given the hot and muggy weather that frequently coincides with the celebration in India. The flavours of coconut and dried fruits are prominent in these laddoos. Since the coconuts in this recipe are inherently delicious, you can choose to omit the sugar entirely.
Samak Kheer
This vrat wali kheer is made from samak chawal, also called samvat chawal or barnyard millet, which is a staple that is often substituted for rice during Navratri. This simple meal uses dried fruits to add taste. You'll experience a boost in energy and a prolonged feeling of fullness. It can be served either hot or cold.
Sabudana Kheer
You can use sabudana to make vrat wali kheer. Sabudana, also referred to as sago pearls, is one of the most adaptable foods. Since everyone has probably eaten tikkis and sabudana khichdi, why not try something sweet? Sabudana pearls, cardamom powder, saffron, milk, and sugar are all you need to make kheer. Serve this kheer cold for ultimate pleasure. Because of its high carbohydrate content, sabudana will keep you satisfied for a very long period.
Lauki Halwa
A popular summertime vegetable is the bottle gourd. Did you know that this vegetable can be used to produce delicious halwa? To make this dish, all you need is milk, ghee, sugar, and dried fruits. Even a leftover piece of lauki can be used to make this delicious halwa. It has a pleasing green tint and has a marshmallow-like texture—soft and melt-in-your-mouth.
Sabudana Ladoo
These sabudana ladoos will quickly become your favourite during Navratri if you're a lover of ladoos. The best aspect? Just three ingredients are needed to prepare this delicious treat: sugar, ghee, and sabudana. Is there any reason not to try this dessert, given how simple it is to make? When you give it a try while fasting, you'll be amazed.
Apple Rabri
This sweet meal, which is suitable for vrat, has delicious flavours of apple, cardamom, almonds, and pistachios. This is a wonderful option if you enjoy sweets that contain milk. You can indulge in this meal both ways, that is, cold and hot.
