Due to the fact that many spices and herbs aren’t allowed during fasting days, many of the Navratri fasting recipes are quick and easy to make. Moreover, you don’t have to chop onions, garlic, etc. which are generally avoided during fast days.

As a matter of fact, Navratri days vary from region to region. That is why some people also break their fast on the sixth day after Amavasya ends at night while others continue to fast for the seventh day, the eighth day, and the ninth day.

Feel free to skip or alter the ingredients of these Navratri Recipes according to your family’s traditions. A few recipes don’t only include onion and garlic but do include cereal flour but they can be always omitted and still will be as tasty as ever.

If any of the basic recipes have onion/garlic, please omit them in the navratri fasting recipe, and you are good to go. Don’t worry; your dish will still taste awesome without them. 

Substitute water chestnut flour (singhare ka atta), buckwheat flour (kuttu ka atta) or arrowroot flour, or potato starch in your Navratri Recipes instead of cornflour or besan (gram flour). 

Sendha namak or rock salt should be used in Navratri fasting recipes or any recipe where I have not added them.

In addition to being quick to prepare, fasting food is also easy to digest, making it an excellent opportunity to connect with your inner nature and the supreme force.

In Northern India, only certain ingredients comprising of flours and grains are consumed during the nine days of fasting in thee Navratri Recipes.
