1. Sabudana Khichdi

A classic vrat recipe made with soaked sabudana, roasted peanuts, and mild spices. It is light, filling, and perfect for long fasting hours.
  Tip: Pair it with a bowl of curd for balance.

2. Kuttu Ki Puri

Buckwheat flour puris served with aloo sabzi are a staple during Navratri. They are both wholesome and delicious.

3. Samak Rice Kheer

A vrat-friendly alternative to regular rice kheer, made with barnyard millet, milk, and sugar. Often prepared as Navratri prasad on special days.

4. Makhana Curry

Roasted makhana cooked in a light tomato-yogurt gravy, offering a creamy yet sattvic dish for the vrat.

5. Fruit Chaat

A refreshing bowl of seasonal fruits sprinkled with rock salt and lemon, ideal for an energy boost during fasting.
