Add Sweetness To The Festivity; Prepare Navratri Special Sweet Recipes

Bhubaneswar: Festivals and food have a special bounding, which traces the well-significance of Indian culture. Navratri is the time to feel festive, spend time with family and friends and eat some delicious satvik food.

People observe fasts on these auspicious days or certain festivals. Such occasions should be ended on a sweet note.

The most popular festival, Durga Puja officially begins on the 6th day of Navratri and is observed with full fervour in the last 4 days in Eastern regions of the country. Glittering pandals and delicious sweet dishes are some of the common sightings during these days.

Here are five mouthwatering Navratri dessert recipes you can make during the festival.

Sabudana Kheer

The most common and popular dessert that is prepared for fasts is the sabudana kheer. Sabudana is a bit tricky to soak and cook. This recipe covers all the tricks so that you get a perfect sabudana kheer.

Malai Ladoo

This mildly sweet ladoo will find a permanent place on your desserts list. You won’t wait for fasts to indulge in them. The texture of Malai Ladoo is absolutely smooth and soft. Do not miss these simple ladoo during fasts.

Dry Fruit Kheer 

It is prepared with dry fruits, makhana is used as the thickening agent and is also the main ingredient for dry fruit kheer. Other than makhana, dry fruits such as almonds, cashews, coconut flakes, and pistachios have been used. I like to make dry fruit kheer during fasts, as it is quite filling and nutritious and keeps full for a pretty long time.

Meethi Lassi

A glass of chilled meethi lassi can be so refreshing as well as energizing but we often omit it from our fasting menu. This Navratri finish off your fast with this rejuvenating drink!

Almond Halwa

A rich and tasty halwa recipe from South India. Its made with blanched almonds, milk and sugar. Its one of the best halwas you will ever taste. Make this special divine dessert for Diwali, Navratri, Ganesha chaturthi or any occasion.
