  1. Thanks Dassana
    You really simplified my Navratri fast plans. Iam an inspired first timer and your article gave me an affirmation on yes I can do it.
    Beauty of Indian festivals is it gives you flexibilityto experiment and be part of it.
    Jai Matadi

    1. welcome rajeev. in my house we use tomatoes and my mother in law who keeps all navratri fast also use tomatoes. scientifically and botanically, tomato is classified as a fruit.

    1. anu, some people use coriander and some don’t. please note the ‘*’ marked before coriander. coriander is a herb whereas coriander powder comes from it seeds. may be thats why this difference. every community has different rules for navratri vrat.

  2. me pichhale 6 saal se navaratry ka upvas rakhta hu par ye upyogi jankari aj mili bahut bahut sadhuvad aur jai mata di

          1. Thank you so much, Its a great information you shared. It will be definitely helpful for me.

          2. Mam how many times we can use black salt (sendha namak) per day during vrat. 1-2 times or more than this. and may we use palak as vegitable.
