Navratri 2024 is starting soon and the country is fully gearing up to celebrate this festival with much enthusiasm and joy. As with any other festival, food is an integral part of Navratri as well. Some people observe fast or vrat during Navratri. While many stick to a vegetarian diet, others choose to go for a more stringent version by eliminating certain food items completely. But as festive rituals may keep us all busy, an elaborate meal may not be everyone's pick. On such days all you need is a vrat recipe that is tasty and easy to make. To make your job simpler, we have curated a list of seven such dishes that can be made in just 30 minutes.
