Aap Ka Bazar®, a monthly grocery app/website/store(s) wishes you the reader a very happy Navratri that is one of the most awaited festivals in India. Shardiya Navratri is not just a celebration of religious fervor, but a time when communities come together to rejoice in devotion, music, dance, and of course food.
The festival, which spans nine nights and ten days, is dedicated to the worship of Goddess Durga in her nine different forms. Each day is marked by rituals, fasting, and the wearing of specific colors, all of which hold great significance. However, one of the most delightful aspects of Navratri is undoubtedly the special food that accompanies the celebrations.
Navratri Fasting Foods: A Feast in Itself
While fasting may seem restrictive to some, it actually opens the door to a unique culinary experience. The special Navratri food is made from ingredients such as buckwheat flour, water chestnut flour, amaranth, and sago, which are considered permissible for fasting.
These ingredients, combined with various fruits, vegetables, and dairy, create an array of delightful dishes especially in Delhi because Aap Ka Bazar® delivers the below-mentioned ingredients to your doorstep with a 50% discount.
Let’s take a look at some of the most popular Navratri dishes:
- Sabudana Khichdi – Made from sago pearls (available at a 50% discount), this light yet filling dish is often spiced with green chilies, peanuts, and cumin. It is one of the most popular fasting meals across the country.
- Kuttu Ke Pakore – Kuttu flour (available at starting ₹65 only), or Kuttu Atta, is one of the staples during Navratri. “Kuttu ke pakore”, deep-fried fritters made from buckwheat flour and potatoes, are a delicious snack enjoyed during this period.
- Vrat Aloo Chips – Potatoes Chips are a common snack during the Navratri fast, and “Vrat Ke Aloo Chips” is a simple yet delightful potato snack with a pinch of vrat specail salt like rock salt.
