9 Navratri Fasting Platters

Sharad Navratri has finally begun and Maa Durga has blessed us with her Divine presence. Navratri or 'the nine nights' is an Indian festival dedicated to the worship of the 9 forms of the Hindu Deity, Goddess Durga. It is traditionally the time to fast and to pray. It is a time to purify our souls and cleanse our system and to rejuvenate. Most devotees observe fasting on all 9 days by following a restricted diet to detoxify the body. Eating the same type of fasting food (vrat ka khana) for 9 days can be monotonous and may not be a balanced diet. Food has to be chosen wisely to reap maximum benefits from fasting. Today I have come up with 9 different healthy, delicious and nutritious Navratri Fasting Platter ideas along with recipes, which are quick and easy to make, easy to digest and will keep you energized and hydrated without adding unwanted calories during the fasting period.

Durga Pooja is celebrated twice every year - Vasant Navratri which comes in Chaitra month (March-April) during Spring season and Sharad Navratri which comes in Ashwin month (September- October) during the Fall season with full faith and devotion. This year Sharad Navratri began on 17th October and will end on 25th October following Dushera which is also another important festival which celebrates the victory of good over evil.

Navratri Fasting Rules:

As mentioned above, during Navratri fasting, a restricted diet (No-grain , No-onion No-garlic (Satvik) meals are taken. The whole idea is to detoxify the body and prepare it for the change in the season from monsoon to winter (in case of Sharad Navratri) and from winter to summer (in case of Vasant Navratri). However Fasting does not mean you starve yourself nor does it mean you over eat. A proper balance has to be made and food has to be chosen wisely to reap maximum benefits from fasting. Including whole fresh fruits, milk and milk products and dry-fruits in the diet is the best choice during fasting. First, let's have a look at the ingredients that are allowed during this Navratri fasting. Again this list is not a standard one, every region and family will have their own set of rules for Navratri fasting. For instance, In Maharashtra, Lady finger (bhindi) is consumed during Navrati fasting but tomato and bottle gourd are not allowed, While in North India, bottle gourd and tomato are considered as fasting food. So, better to consult with our elders before resuming the fast.

Fresh fruits preferably seasonal whole fruits and dry fruits.
Milk and milk products - Milk, Curd, Ghee, Butter, Buttermilk, Paneer (Indian cottage Cheese), Khoya/Mava.
Barnyard Millet/Samak Chawal / Samo/ Vrat ke Chawal/ Bhagar
Sago / Sabudana
Water Chestnut / Singhara
Buck wheat / Kuttu

My 9 Navratri Fasting Platters :

I observe fast on all 9 days and have only 2 meals a day. One meal with just milk and fruits and dry fruits (no-salt meal) and the second meal with salt - a balanced falahari diet.
