Navratri days always symbolize the purity, pious environment with lots of enthusiasm fed to Dandiya/Garbha dance and Navratri special food dishes.
Since childhood, I had a bucket full of memories of Grand Navratri days. My grandmother used to make various dishes during these days when many Indians fast and don't eat any kind of cereals for nine days. They only take "Falhaar"- a meal that is prepared from buckwheat flour, Saagoo rice, chestnut flour, rock salt, and pepper. Falhaari meals also include fruits and vegetables excluding garlic and onion. This sort of food is believed to be Satvik food and can divert one's mind towards spirituality rather than focusing on luxurious meals.
Kuttu pakode, Sabudana cheela, Rajgire ka paratha/puri, Singade ki burfi, Barnyard rice, Sabudana khichdi, kheer, and patties are popular Navratri dishes. But today I'm making this simple and not so popular sweet dish which I learned from my Nani maa. I loved it as a kid and do so today as well. Hope it will be an addition to your fasting food list.
