The devotees of Goddess Durga observe a fast for the nine-day festival of Chaitra Navratri. This year, from 9th April to 17th April, you can celebrate Navratri by having the best food options on your thali.

Sabudana Kheer

Since people who are fasting avoid rice, you can make a savoury bowl of sabudana (tapioca) kheer.

Fruit Salad

The ulterior health benefit of a fast is detoxifying the body. So, ensure that you’re getting enough fruits instead of unhealthy food.

Kuttu Poori

Instead of making wheat poori, while on a fast, you can make kuttu poori and enjoy it with a potato-based sabzi.

Paneer Tikka

Paneer is a healthy option for your Navratri thali. To add some taste, you can roast paneer and munch paneer tikka.

Samak Pulao

If you’re looking for a sumptuous meal, you can make pulao with samak rice and pair it with raita.

Lassi

Since Chaitra Navratri falls in summer, having lassi on your thali is a must to keep yourself hydrated.
