I have shared with you about how we celebrate and observe Navratri in our family, food of course is a big part of which, like sabudana (tapioca pearls) khichdi (recipe here), sooji ka halwa (recipe here), and sookhe kaale chane (recipe here). Lot of people fast during navratre. They eat fruits during the day and end the fast with a feast at night. Hence Feasting while Fasting. Navratri thali normally consists of special rice, rotis made with special flour, potato dishes, fruits etc. There is no use of onion and garlic and certain spices are a no-no as well. And as it is with day to day foods, preparation of fasting dishes and beliefs behind them vary from family to family.
