Navratri
is one of the holiest Hindu festival, where different avatars of Goddess Durga
is worshiped for nine days. It is celebrated twice a year, which is considered
as a sacred time to worship Goddess Durga, at the beginning of the spring and at
the beginning of the autumn.
Ingredients
like kuttu atta, singhara atta, fresh fruits, milk, yogurt and makhanas are
preferred as they are light on the stomach and can be digested easily. Instead
of regular salt, rock salt or sendha namak is used as it is unprocessed and
considered pure. During the nine days of Navratri, those who do not fast may
follow a vegetarian satvik diet where ingredients like garlic and onions are also
avoided, to allow your body to detox.
If
you are planning to keep fast during Navratri, please do check the "Vrat Info",
in which I have mentioned some fasting rules. This year Chaitra Navratri begins on 8th
April, 2016 and ends on 16th
April 2016.
Let
the joy of festival embrace you with the best of my fasting recipes. Indulge in
from the old fasting favorites to the newer ones.
