Some of the most well-liked foods prepared during Navratri include Sabudana khichdi, fruit chaat, kheer, and kuttu ki poori. So, as you get ready for the nine-day fast, here are some easy-to-prepare and delectable meals.
Sabudana Khichdi
Whenever there is a shift in the seasons, the human body’s immunity drops. Sabudana is a staple meal high in protein & fibre that also aids in digestion, therefore recipes made using it as a main ingredient may be useful. To make sabudana khichdi, you’ll need soaking sabudana, potato, ghee, shredded coconut, green chilies, roasted peanuts, and chopped coriander. This dish, which is high in carbohydrates, will keep you satisfied for longer and provide you with a quick burst of energy. You may also use sabudana vada or sabudana kheer as a wonderful fasting snack.

Samak Tikki
Samak ke chawal, also known as millet, is another grain eaten during fasting periods alongside sabudana. Since there is a wide variety of dishes that may be made with this component. The tikki is prepared by placing the necessary components, such as cumin seeds, green chilies, washed samak ke chawal, and water, in a pressure cooker and cooking it for a set time. Take the cooker off the heat after the first whistle and let it cool a bit. Now, toss the rice with the potato, green chillies, roasted peanuts, and coriander. After that, chill it for a time in the refrigerator. Last but not least, deep-fry the tikkis until they are golden and crisp. A dip made of mint and yoghurt should be served alongside it while it is still hot.
Millet Uttapam
The next option is Uttapam made from millet (samak ke chawal ke chawal), which is great as a snack due to its crunchiness. Tomatoes, chopped, can be added to the batter for a sour take on the standard pancake preparation before being cooked on a hot griddle. Serve with your favourite dip and a sprinkle of minced coriander.
Idli Sama
To prepare this tasty rice cake delicacy, sama rice and spices traditionally eaten during fasting are steamed into a batter. You can eat the idlis as a “quick food” option for either dinner or breakfast, especially when paired with the coriander chutney.
“Kuttu Dosa”
This Navratri, try something other than the standard kuttu ki puri and aloo ki sabzi. If you’re looking to break your fast with a satisfying meal, try a hot, crispy dosa stuffed with potato stuffing. Use kuttu flour instead of rice flour and the process will be the same. Hot, with homemade tomato chutney, coconut flakes, or coriander.
Vrat wala Dhokla
During your fasting days, give this dhokla recipe a try. Prepared with samwat ke chawal that has been steamed, along with whole red chillies, cumin, ghee, and curry leaves. Plus, a side of mint chutney.
The Delectable Dessert Known as Makhana Kheer
Without a sweet treat, a celebration would be incomplete, thus we’ve included the best food to enjoy throughout the celebration. This rich and velvety meal is prepared in nearly the same way as rice kheer. You can easily make this dish healthier by switching out the rice for makhana, which is low in cholesterol and rich in potassium, making it an ideal snack to enjoy during the fast and perfect for maintaining normal blood pressure.
