Navratri Meal Plan

Navratri Meal Plan

Navratri is a very auspicious time of the year and is celebrated over the period of 8-9 days. During this time period, devotees observe fast from the first day to the ninth day. People eat only one meal a day and that too phalahari.

The term phalahari or falahari refers to ‘phal’ that means fruit and ‘aahar’ means diet – meaning diet that contains fruits and veggies. During fasting days, people consume falahari diet that consist of fruits, vegetables, dry nuts and some dairy products. No onion and garlic is consumed in this diet and vrat recipes are prepared with few simple ingredients.

I follow a very simple diet and refrain from consuming onion and garlic meals in Navratri. But I do understand that some families follow a very restricted diet and avoid eating few spices and veggies that are mentioned in my recipes. Please leave them out and plan your meal accordingly.

    This looks like feast…. but can we eat baking soda/eno while fasting?

    • Ruchi says:

      Thanks Pallavi! From what I know baking soda/Eno is allowed in vrat but please consult your elders before consuming.

    Hi Ruchi: Thank you for another winner recipe. Its on my dinner recipe tonight!
    I have been loving the red spatula seen in some of your recent recipes. Would you add about this and on the key pots/pans you use to your ‘Kitchen Essentials’ list? I am sure it will be very useful to many of your readers esp newbie cooks 🙂
