Sattvic dishes which are devoid of onion, garlic and wheat are the flavour of the season as Navratri starts today. Those who follow the tenets of fasting during the nine-day festival adhere to a sattvic diet which limits their food choices. Keeping this in mind, several restaurants in the Capital have launched Navratri special menus complete with kuttu puri, shakarkandi ki seekh, kuttu papdi chaat and more.
AnnaMaya, Andaz Delhi
The elegant restaurant known for its ingredient-focussed menu has launched a wholesome thali for Navratri. There’s hot kottu poori, tongue-tickling dahi bhalla and aromatic gulab ki kheer, among others.
Price: ₹ 1,800 plus taxes

SOCIAL's limited edition Nine Nights Menu
Yes, now you can go to a bar even when you are fasting. SOCIAL, located across Delhi, has introduced a Nine Nights Menu with nibbles like sabudana and water chestnut vada and potato and raw banana tikki with banana chips. There’s a thali too with samak rice, aloo jeera and sabudana kheer.
