Navratri is a time when faith, festivity, and flavour come together in a grand celebration of Goddess Durga’s divine power. It is a phase of devotion, renewal, and divine blessings. As spring ushers in new beginnings, faith blossoms with it. The air is filled with the sacred chants of ‘Jai Mata Di’, the glow of diyas, and the soothing fragrance of incense. Devotees observe fasts, visit temples, and seek the grace of Goddess Durga, embracing this period as a path to spiritual awakening.
While this vibrant festival fills our hearts with joy, it also calls for special culinary traditions. Many households prepare dishes without onion and garlic to maintain the sanctity of the celebration, ensuring that every meal aligns with the festive spirit. With TOPS NONG (No Onion, No Garlic) Tomato Ketchup and Snack Sauce, you can add a burst of flavour to your Navratri delicacies while staying true to tradition!
