Healthy Navratri Meal Plan

This year on the Navratri festival enjoy a healthy meal plan prepared using Navratri recipe collection and take a break with routine traditional food for a few days.

Collection of Navratri vrat recipes, consists of Kuttu recipe (buckwheat flour recipes), Rajgira Recipes & Sama rice recipes along with other fasting recipes(vrat ka khana).

This year Navratri begins from 17 October and ends on 26 October 2020. Read more about this beautiful Festival which is also known as Navdurga Festival.

Each day is devoted to different forms of Goddess Durga and consider a different color for each day.

Navratri festival is celebrated by keeping fast for one day or all nine days. Vrat ka khana or falahari khana is served during fasting.

There is a limitation of food items, only a few grains, flours, vegetables and spices are allowed to eat. Check my previous post “Navratri Fasting Recipe Collection“ to know more about what are the foods allowed during fasting days.

Some people follow a very strict diet which is called “farali food” or “phalahari food” in terms of eating. They prefer to eat only one time a day.

The term “Phalahari” means ‘phal’= fruits & veggies and ‘hari’ means food. Only certain fruits & veggies are allowed during Navratri fasting days.

All vrat ka khana is cooked without onion & garlic. Upvas recipes are cooked with just a few ingredients yet they are most delicious.

I prefer to eat a five-course meal during Navratri to keep myself energetic. Please understand that not all food ingredients are perfect for all families.

Homemade ghee, Homemade yogurt, and Roasted cumin powder are few easy homemade pantry staples which helps me observing fuss-free fasting during Navratri days.

Just skip any ingredients which is not allowed at your household and follow the rest of the recipe.

However, if you are working or having kids to take care of, then small meals are great to consume every 3-4 hours to keep you energetic. 

I am here with the five-course menu which is very easy to prepare, filling, and make you energetic for the whole time.

Please consult with your elders while preparing a meal. I have already mentioned allowed food and some are customized based on family preferences.
