Keeping meals simple during Navratri doesn’t mean giving up on flavour. These no-onion, no-garlic lunch and dinner ideas are satvik and filling enough to carry you through your fast, all while staying true to tradition.
You can make sabudana tikki with mashed potatoes, soaked sabudana and a blend of spices.
If you’re looking for a sumptuous Navratri meal, make pulao with samak rice and pair it with raita.
Potatoes are the go-to vegetable while fasting. The easiest vrat recipe would be the comforting jeera aloo.
You can make kuttu dosa with a batter made with kuttu atta, green chillies, water, and sendha namak.
For something sweet, you can make singhare ki kheer with milk, sugar, water chestnuts, and nuts.
