Navratri is here – the time to celebrate the divine Hind entity goddess Durga, play dandiya, and observe fasts to seek blessings for loved ones & the world.
Now, apart from all the fun, often people find it difficult to find delicious fast-friendly recipes. Eating sabudana and fruits everyday turns out to be quite boring! So, to add flavor to your celebratory days, we have listed the top 7 fantastic and yummy recipes that you can consume during your 9-day fasting period.
Samak Tikki
Making Samak Tikki is recommended during Navratri since the ingredients are easy to prepare, and you can switch them up. You require items such as green chilies, cumin seeds, washed Samak ke chawal, and water in a pressure cooker.
Remove water from the cooker after one whistle and let it cool. Then mix potato, roasted peanuts, green chilies, coriander, and rice. Let it refrigerate for a while before shallow frying it.
Sama Idli
You can make sama idli by steaming a batter with sama rice and spices. You can have the dish with coriander chutney. It’s such a quick dinner or breakfast meal for Navratri.
Sabudana Khichdi
Sabudana is one of the best fasting-friendly foods. It is protein and fiber-rich, making a substantial meal to take during fasting. It will keep you full for long periods. You make it using potato, soaked sabudana, grated coconut, ghee, roasted peanuts, green chilies, and coriander.
Millet Uttapam
You can take uttapam with millet as a snack. Add sliced tomatoes (don’t worry, tomatoes are technically fruits and safe to consume during fasts) to the batter to get the tangy twist, then cook on a hot grill. You can then garnish it with chopped coriander.

Makhana Kheer
Treat yourself this Navratri with this simple dessert, one of the best fasting-friendly foods. You prepare it similar to rice kheer. However, this time, substitute rice with makhana.
