Navratri is just around the corner. On this auspicious festival, devotees observe a fast or a vrat of 9 days to feel the divine and positive energy of the puja and festival. However, as fasting foods are free from onion, garlic, dal and rice, it is a challenging task to decide what to eat during this period.
Several online food delivery platforms have now started to deliver food using the online delivery system. They have collaborated with restaurants that prepare Navratri-friendly food to have it delivered to customers hassle-free. Whether you are at work, travelling, or just don’t want to cook for hours, you can get vrat food delivered directly to your place.
