Keep away the sabudanakhichdi and potato wafers…Navratri doesn’t have to mean boring food, not any more. Here are 9 exciting vrat approved recipes to add the feast quotient to your fast.
Crunchy sabudana munchies
Fasting can be fun, especially when you can munch on something as delicious as sabudanachakli sticks. Made with simple vrat approved ingredients like sago, samo rice, chillies, potatoes and salt – making this is child’s play.

Grilled Pineapple Shikanji
Why stick to just regular shikanji when you can make this super fruity one. Grilled pineapples add a caramel like sweetness to the drink which is balanced out with a hint of black salt and lemon juice. It is an instant refresher.

Farali Pattice
Spicy, with a hint of sweet in each bite, faralipattice is a must have on fasting days. Soft potato patties stuffed with a mixture of fresh coconut, chillies and dry fruits, deep fried to golden brown perfection. You will wonder why you haven’t made these before.

Satviksahihain
This khichdi is proof that satvik food is indeed for the soul. You can use vratkachawal, if your fasting ritual doesn’t permit you to eat regular rice. There is also plenty of freedom when it comes to adding veggies, serve it up with a spicy arbikikadhi and make a delicious meal out of it.

Vrat ki Kadhi
Those who find comfort in kadhichawal are in for a treat during Navratri. Singhada or water chestnut flour givesthe kadhi a nutty flavor which tastes great with rice and even bhakris. Vratkepakode’s make a crunchy addition to the meal.
