So, here are some sweets that are both vrat-friendly and suitable for Chaitra Navratri celebrations.

1. Sabudana Kheer: Sabudana is a very popular and versatile vrat ingredient. You will be pleased to learn that it can also be used to produce wonderful kheer. All you need are sabudana, elaichi powder, saffron, milk, and sugar. It is as smooth and creamy as normal kheer and is a must-try this fasting season. Click here for the whole Sabudana Kheer recipe.

2. Singhara Atta Halwa: Water chestnut flour, also known as singhare ka atta, is a mainstay during Navratri fasts. Because traditional atta and maida should not be consumed during the fast, this replacement is utilized instead. In addition to the traditional recipes for puris, parathas, kadhis, and tikkis, it can also be used for sweet dishes. This is a delicious halwa made from water chestnut flour and dried fruits. Serve this halwa with singhara atte ki pooris to make it vrat-appropriate.

3. Coconut Ladoos: Coconut laddoo is a basic vrat dessert. Coconut is considered a Sattvic food in Hinduism and is thought to have a cooling effect on the body, therefore this halwa is an excellent choice for Chaitra Navratri. This is especially handy given the hot and muggy weather that often coincides with the celebration in India. These laddoos have strong coconut and dried fruit tastes. Because the coconuts in this dish are naturally delicious, you can eliminate the sugar altogether.

4.  Sabudana Ladoo: If you're a ladoo fan, these sabudana ladoos will be your go-to during Navratri. What is the best part? You can prepare this delectable pleasure with only three ingredients: Sabudana, butter, and sugar, that's all.

5. Makhana Kheer: Makhana kheer is another delectable kheer that should be on your radar. In this recipe, roasted makhana (fox nuts) and cashew nuts are simmered in milk rather than rice. The end result is a delicious kheer that will fulfill your sweet tooth in no time. Garnish with cut pistachios and kesar strands, and enjoy the goodness.

6. Lauki Halwa: Bottle gourds are a favorite summer vegetable. Did you know this veggie can be used to make tasty halwa? This meal requires only milk, ghee, sugar, and dried fruits. This delectable halwa can be made with any leftover lauki. It has a pleasant green color and a marshmallow-like texture that melts in your tongue.
