Navratri 2021: This Easy Vrat-Special Breakfast Is Made With Just A Drop Of Oil

India is gearing up for the celebrations of Chaitra Navatri that begins on 13th April this year. The nine-day festival would conclude on 21st April. Navratri is one of India’s most widely celebrated festivals. Nine forms of Durga are worshipped on nine days of this festival, which is why many people refrain from meat and alcohol as a mark of devotion. Many also observe the ritualistic Navratri vrat, wherein they eat light, vegetarian, Sattvik food. As we all know, grains, pulses and cereals are prohibited in this fasting regime so many people struggle with options. Turns out, you can make a gamut of snacks with all the ‘permissible’ ingredients- just like this aloo roasty.
