Ashtami + Navami, one plate 🪔✨ Halwa, puri, kala chana — the prasad that ends Navratri right. Suji halwa with ghee and elaichi, fluffy puris, and kala chana tossed with jeera, ginger and lemon. Make a little extra — this is the plate everyone asks for seconds of. 👇 Halwa first, or straight for the puri?

Getting ready for the finale 🙏✨ This year Ashtami and Navami fall together on Monday — so Sunday is prep day. Soak the chana tonight, set out the atta and suji, and tomorrow’s prasad practically makes itself. Save this prep list: black chana (soak overnight), suji halwa, puris, and something sweet for Kanya Pujan. 👇 Do you do Kanya Pujan at home, or keep it simple with family prasad? (Vrat rules vary by household — adapt to your tradition 💛)

Day 7 is ORANGE 🧡 — and 7 days of color deserve a sweet ending: coconut ladoo.
Fresh coconut, a little condensed milk, elaichi, 12 minutes on low flame, and the wet-hands trick for perfectly smooth ladoos. Makes ~15 — the kind of prasad that disappears before the plate hits the table.
7 days, 7 colors — we did it! 🎉 Save this one! 👇 Show me your Navratri plate — tag @looking4somecooking and I’ll feature my favorites.

Sabudana... in a WAFFLE MAKER? 🤯🧇

Yes — and it’s the crispiest, no-fry vrat snack you’ll make this Navratri. I love this recipe because I can make the mixture ahead of time and cook it hot whenever I need a snack or lunch.

How I make it:
Soak sabudana (sago / tapioca pearls) overnight, drain the water, and mix with potatoes, sesame seeds, salt, sugar and lemon juice. If your kids like it, add crushed peanuts and crushed chilli. I usually make the mixture over the weekend and cook them as needed.

Serve with your favorite chutney or ketchup. 💚

Save this for your next fast — and tell me, waffle maker or pan, which team are you? 👇

Day 3 is ROYAL BLUE — the one Navratri color you can’t eat. 😅 (Blueberries aren’t exactly vrat food.)
So instead, a technique tip worthy of the fanciest color: the secret to makhana that actually CRUNCHES. Low flame, ghee, a full 8 minutes — and salt goes in AFTER roasting, never before. The cold test: if a cooled makhana snaps cleanly, the batch is done.
Save this before your next batch! 👇

What’s your makhana seasoning of choice?
