India is a country of festivals , we have so many cultures, tradition and celebrations like Diwali , Eid , Holi and Navratri the list is endless . Navratri is a festival dedicated to Goddess Durga and is celebrated for nine days twice in a year . Once in the beginning of autumn and second in starting of spring season. It’s celebrated in different ways throughout the country . In North India , it’s often celebrated by fasting for nine days , in which we have to keep a distance from grains and pulses and continue our fasting with fruits and certain vegetables . This particular food is called Falahar , which we eat one time a day . The day start with prayer of goddess Durga , and chanting of Maa Durga’s Mantras for the whole day . We take only fruits and juices in the day. At night we used to eat the Falahar . Certain type of flour and ingredients are considered as fasting food , one of which is Samak or Barnyard millet . We ( me and my family ) are fasting for nine days and I will try to post only fasting recipes under a new category “fasting recipes” .

Samak Ka Pulao/upma

Kuttu ka Atta (Buckwheat Flour) aur Samak ke Chawal (Barnyard Millet) ki Poori (Fried Puffed Indian Bread) is one of the most popular and delicious delicacies enjoyed during the Navratri festivities, especially in North Indian households. The poori is gluten free and makes for a wholesome meal for those observing fast (vrat/ upwas) during the nine day long festival.

At my home, my husband is a big Mata ke Bhakt and he observes fast for all the 9 days, taking meals only once a day. Therefore, I make sure, the one meal that he is taking is wholesome and delicious at the same time. This poori is kind of quintessential Navratri meal for us and I prepare it at-least one day out of the nine days. It can be paired with any farali sabzi of your choice; I however, usually serve it with either Khatti Meethi Kaddu ki Sabzi, Dry Dahi Masala Aloo or Rassedar Arbi Tamatar ki Sabzi. Offcourse, a bowl of curd is also a must on the thali.

Apart from this poori, there are many other vrat recipes that I normally prepare during 9 days of Navratri. Some of the most popular on the blog are: Sabudana Khichdi, Sabudana Vada, Samak ke Chawal ka Pulao, Farali Dahi Vada and Farali Dhokla. Among sweets, you can take a look at Sabudana Kheer, Makhane aur Badaam ki Kheer and Kaddu ka Halwa.

A hearty stew made with yellow lentils, vegetables and heaps of aromatic spice powder, Sambar is a staple served with all the meals at every South Indian household. The flavorful lentil curry tempered with aromatic curry leaves, mustard seeds and whole dried red chilies makes for a delectable accompaniment whether having hot idlis , vada, dosa or even plain steamed rice. It won't be incorrect to say that while sambar is majorly known for its tongue-tickling taste, it is also packed with a lot of health benefits; toor dal lends it that much needed dosage of protein, the vegetables provide it with all the essential vitamins and minerals and lastly, addition of hing and tamarind loads it with immune-boosting properties. Having said that, every household has its own recipe of making sambar. Some like it to have thick, others a bit runny. Some like the chunkiness of vegetables whereas others like their sambar to be smooth. Some like it on a tangier side, others with just a hint

Bhatura is a leavened, puffed deep fried bread made from Maida or All Purpose Flour. A popular recipe from the Punjabi cuisine, it is mainly served with spiced chickpea curry such as Pindi Chholey and Amritsari Chholey . Traditionally, bhatura is made using fermented dough, which is rested for minimum of 6 hours and has a peculiar tang to it.
