healthy food for fasting - Chaitra Navratri

Navratri is over ,I like festivals as they add glitz to our normal monotonous days, we prepare good food ,dress up ,deck up our home and in other words add colours to our black and white life. If you have been following my blog you must be knowing what I prepared for the fasting on first day, for the Ashthami fast didn't feel like cooking the whole meal
For breakfast had fried faux nut and chai /tea

 so instead just had fried potato topped with beaten curd and green tea for dinner .

For Lunch
I had got coconut flavoured yogurt which is readily available in the supermarkets here ,just whisked it with the help of spoon and topped it with dried cranberries and blueberries.

Last post I had written a small poem on Ramnavami Festival
 I know my writing is pretty bad so sharing it again here

You are out of reach
And Transcendence
And during festivals
Its sheer joy for us .
As we get to celebrate
The divinity around us.
So thanks for such
Beautiful days
When we are
Engulfed in
Sweet madness
To fast, feast
And celebrate
As it adds
 new meaning
To a normal day.

Navratri Celebration & food to drive away the blue

Its that time of the year again when we celebrate Navratri and worship for 9 days Goddess Durga .

Just like every year I am nostalgic and home sick which I take out by cooking the food prepared during the festival did the same this year too for breakfast had Faux nut seeds fried and seasoned with rock salt & and; pepper

.
Dinner was Kuttu Poori with fried potato and curd.
Food is something which always comforts me and helps me in driving the blue away .

For Kuttu/Buckwheat Flour Poor
Ingredient
Kuttu flour two cup
Boiled potato one
Rock salt as per Taste
Oil to cook
Water to knead the dough
Procedure
In a mixing bowl mix all the ingredients together
Knead to mix smooth dough
divide the dough into equal sized discs
Flatten and keep aside,
Heat oil in wok
Put the flattened disc in butter paper
And flatten it further till poori shape is there
Slowly place in the oil
Fry till its brown from both sides.
Drain and serve warm with fried potato and curd.
Festival time we like to indulge too and if you in that kind of mood then try fresh fruits with cream
This we had on a normal day so topped it with muesli for fasting just layer fruits and cream in a bowl and relish it .

That's all friends
Take care and happy blogging
Wish all the readers of Asan Khana Happy Navratri
