Haven’t you heard, we eat with our eyes first! Taste on the other hand comes in later with texture and sound. The link between visual senses and perception of flavours is very strong, otherwise why would a picture of food make you salivate? Such is the power of visual appearance! Having said that, on the occasion of Navratri, let’s play on with the nine colours of the festival. Colours you can wear and eat. We all know that the colours of Navratri represent the nine avatars or incarnations of Goddess Durga. So, wear and at the same time eat these colours to celebrate the festival in all its glory!
1. Joyful Yellow: The first day is dedicated to Goddess Tara, if you’re wearing this bright colour, don’t forget to match it up with something on your plate. Make peach or pineapple halwa or kesari shrikhand, boondi laddoo for prasad. Or cook up something with boiled corn kernels, yellow bell pepper and black salt. Remember, yellow is the theme! Even a simple upvas ki kadhi is perfect to keep up with the yellow tone.
2. Feel fresh with Green: Go green on the second day! Let your dress match your food and if you are inviting people home for celebrations or aarti, decorate your home green and let them feel the power of this happy colour. Do make honey glazed beans and four bean salad to feel fresh. Just make kadipatta chutney for the green effect. Cook up Beans poriyal – a south Indian delight or coriander wadis or kiwi pudding as a sweet dish. There are no limits for green delights!
