Which are the best traditional food recipes for Navratri 2025 fasting (vrat friendly dishes)?
For Navratri 2025, devotees can try many delicious yet vrat-friendly recipes:- Sabudana Khichdi: Made with sago pearls, peanuts, and mild spices. - Kuttu Poori: Buckwheat flour poori served with aloo sabzi. - Singhara Halwa: Sweet dish made with water chestnut flour. - Makhana Kheer: Dessert made with fox nuts and milk. - Fruit Chaat: Mix of apple, banana, papaya with rock salt. - Aloo Jeera: Potato curry with cumin seeds. - Samak Rice Pulao: Healthy alternative to regular rice.All these dishes use sendha namak (rock salt) instead of common salt. They are light on stomach and provide energy during fasting.
I enjoy cooking during Navratri, and in 2025, I plan to make sabudana vada, rajgira paratha, and lauki halwa. These are easy to prepare and tasty. My favorite is makhana curry, which goes well with singhara poori. Instead of oily food, I try baking or shallow frying to keep it healthy. Also, smoothies made with banana, milk, and dates can be a good option. Vrat recipes don’t have to be boring; with some creativity, they can be nutritious and delicious at the same time.
