A delicious Feast after Fasting fills more excitement and energy in you and adds-up to a delightful day. The good thing is that nowadays many restaurants are offering special food for Fast (Vrat) and  this led me to explore some popular Eating Joints' thalis (platter) during Navratra.

 

First platter I ate was at Haldiram's . Earlier my plan was to visit Bikanervala and then Niruala's. But I was disappointed to know the fact that Bikanervala at Sahibabad was not offering Navratra thalis yesterday for some reason, hence I decided to visit Bikanervala at Sector 63, NOIDA which has now been shut-down (another disappointment). But as they say "whatever happens, happens for the best" we settled for Naivedyam's Navratri Thali. 

 

I like South Indian food, but never thought of Navratra Food in their menu. The Thali here comprises of Rava Kuttu Dosa stuffed with mashed potato and tomato, two Idlis, dahi bhalla, Samak Rice, Coconut Chutney, Peanuts Chutney, Vegetables subzi in coconut gravy, Sabudana Papad and Firni and two fried chillis stuffed with salt added to it. We honestly loved every single bit of each item in this thali, though found the firni was little bit undercooked. An all together different flavoured Navratra Meal, I must admit that it is the best meal I had so far.

 

The Special Thali here cost around Rs. 300 Including Tax and unexpectedly surprised me with the flavors and taste.

 

Navratra Special Thali

 

Navratras has started and it is the time when lots of people do Fasting/Vrat. The food during these days of Navratras are all together different, made up of Kuttu, Singhara, Samak, SabuDana and many more. Nowadays, many restaurants like Haldiram, Bikanervala, Sattvik, Govindas offers variety of Navratras Food and truly gives an opportunity to make your fasting days more special.

Navratras Special Thali at HALDIRAM's

My Navratra's Feast has started at Haldiram's. They have their All-New Navratras Menu for this season listing Navratra Aloo Chaat, Sabudana Bites, Kurkuri Arbi Chaat, Samak Ke Tikke, Navratra Paneer Wrap, Tadoori Platter and Navratra Special Thali. I tried the Special Thali which cost me Rs. 300 Including Tax. It has Arbi ki Sabzi, Shahi Paneer, Aloo Ki Sabzi, Samak Rice, 2 Singhara Parantha, Vegetable Raita and Ras Malai as a sweet dish. I found it good in terms of taste, but doesn't like the way they served the food which completely looks different from their Special Thali Pictures. Quantity of the food is also somewhere not satisfactory for me, but I still have to check out other places to give the final comments on this. Need to mention that I really like Arbi ki Sabzi and Singhara Parantha the most from this Thali.
