Navratri: A Time for Family, Fasting, and Feasting

 

There are some festivals that I look forward to every single year and amongst those is Navratri. It’s a plethora of color, music and dance — a nine-night celebration during which we worship the divine feminine and root for the triumph of good over evil. But beyond the garba nights and sparkling clothes, it’s a moment that unites families. For many of us, it’s also a season of fasting — a practice that is as meaningful as it is challenging.

Yes, we know fasting during Navratri can be a marathon sometimes — beautiful in its intention but trickier to run when you’re juggling busy days with kids, work and all the celebrating. And that’s where I’ve discovered a little secret: The right food can transform fasting into something fun, flavorful and nourishing. And believe me, I have the perfect thing for you to have today!

Importance of Fasting During Navratri

Intermittent fasting isn’t just about skipping meals — it’s a reset for your body and mind. It’s a tradition grounded in devotion and self-discipline, an opportunity to purify our bodies while aligning with something greater than ourselves. Plus there’s science to back it up: fasting can detox your system, improve digestion and even enhance your focus. But here’s the trick — to make it work, you need foods that fuel you without leaving you hungry or depleted.

That’s the part where the challenge sneaks in. Trying to come up with fasting-friendly dishes that are delicious, simple to make and the entire family will enjoy? It’s not a bed of roses, all the time. I’ve experienced Navratri more than a few times when I felt like I was running on fumes—until I discovered some of these killer recipes.
