Navratri is a season of both fasting and feasting, and the food is its own quiet tradition.
Farali fare
Many observe a fast that avoids grains, leaning on farali dishes — sabudana khichdi, rajgira, and fruit — that keep energy up without breaking the vow.
Midnight stalls
Outside every big Garba, the food stalls are half the fun: chaas to cool down, pav bhaji and dabeli to refuel, and something sweet for the drive home.
