Navratri has kickstarted, and everyone has already begun to blend into the vibe of the nine special days. Each day is dedicated to Goddess Durga's nine forms, and one of the major elements of this auspicious festival is fasting. It is an integral part of Navratri where people avoid having non-vegetarian meals, alcohol, and switch to sattvic food.
Fasting for nine days might seem quite challenging, but it totally depends on how you are planning your meals. If you avoid fried foods, overeating and dehydration, then it is rather easy to observe fasts/vrat for the festival.
Therefore, I have enlisted below a list of few healthy food options for Navratri fast.(Likely to differ according to resources available in particular region/states etc)
1.Makhana- roasted
2.Greek yogurt
3.Rajgira (amaranth flour) chilla
4.Kuttu dosa (buckwheat flour)
5.Tender coconut water and lemon water
6.Sweet patatos (tikki/chaat)
7.Singhara flour (dosa/paratha)
8.Barnyard millet (samwa or varai rice)can make idli,dosa,pulao,Khichari)
9.Potato ( pattice/sabji)
10. Pumpkin (sabji)
11.Arbi (cutlet/sabji)
12.Suran (sabji/airfried or shallow fried)
13.Unripe banana (shallow fried chips)
14.Unripe papaya (salad)
15.All nuts and dryfruits
16.All fruits
17.Milk
18.All milk products.
