Navratri Fasting: Choosing the right foods during your fast can help you stay vibrant, energized, and healthy throughout the nine-day celebration. Here’s a guide to the best healthy fasting foods that will nourish your body while keeping your Navratri fast strong and fulfilling.
Dahi Aloo: For an easy and healthy meal, you can cook some boiled potatoes in a curd-based gravy.
Betroot Salad: Chop the beetroot and mix it with other veggies with a squeeze of lemon.
Millet Pongal: You can make millet Pongal with Samak and assorted vegetables.
Kuttu Dosa: Make kuttu dosa with a batter made with kuttu atta, green chillies, water and sendha namak.
Sabudana Poha: Unlike the traditional poha with flattened rice, you can make poha with sabudana while fasting.
Millet Khichdi: A great alternative to regular rice, Samak (barnyard millet) cooks just like rice and can be made into a simple khichdi with veggies and mild spices.
Kuttu Paratha: Kuttu atta (buckwheat flour) is commonly used during fasts. Make soft, crispy parathas and pair them with curd or vrat-friendly aloo sabzi.
Sweet Potato Chaat: Boiled sweet potatoes tossed with rock salt, lemon juice, and green chilies make for a sweet, tangy, and filling snack you’ll crave even post-fasting.
Makhana Stir-Fry: Roast fox nuts (makhana) in ghee and toss with rock salt and pepper. They’re crunchy, light, and a great midday munch.
