One of the most cherished Hindu holidays, Navratri, is celebrated in 2022 to honour Goddess Durga. Throughout the vast Indian subcontinent, this sacred occasion is honoured in many different ways. There is a unique route dedicated to each region. However, it is cherished and jubilantly observed all over India. Another important component of the Navratri holiday is the associated fasts, or vrats. Throughout the nine days of Navratri, fasting is regarded as lucky. A mindful fast can help you detoxify and tone your body, but if done incorrectly, it can deplete your energy and make you cranky. Include meals that will help you uphold all religious principles while still giving your body the nutrition and energy it needs.

You should use vrat ke chawal, often referred to as se Samak rice (Barnyard Millet), in your quick dishes. They are an excellent source of energy since they are packed with critical minerals like iron and magnesium as well as a significant quantity of fibre. See some mouthwatering vrat ke chawal recipes that you need to try this Navratri.
