The nine-day fasting period during Navratri calls for trying new recipes that you can try every day. To add healthy and delicious veggies to your Navratri thali, here are some light and nutritious options.

Dahi Aloo

For a quick and healthy meal, you can cook some boiled potatoes in a curd-based gravy.

Beetroot Salad

To make a colourful salad bowl, chop the beetroot and mix it with other veggies with a squeeze of lemon.

Millet Pongal

Instead of rice, you can make millet pongal with samai and assorted vegetables.

Kuttu Dosa

You can make kuttu dosa with a batter made with kuttu atta, green chillies, water, and sendha namak.

Sabudana Poha

Unlike the traditional staple made with flattened rice, you can make poha with sabudana while fasting.
