Here comes the time when almost everything is a no-no for you to eat and drink; no alcohol, no meats, no onions and what not! However, you still have those many lip smacking food options around you. With navratri thalis a staple during these 9-10 days, we bring to you a list of places serving the best of these thalis for a delicious navratri season:
1. RAJDHANI
Known for its Gujarati fare, they serve a lavish Navratri thali, embracing the essence of native flavours with dishes like kele ki sabzi, gujarati kadhi and the delicious aamras. A fiercely tangy tomato dal and a soothing sabudana kheer also add to the celebration. Adding to the festive fervour is warm welcome with chandan tikkas, rose-water cleansing and a groovy aam panna worked like a charm. Accompanied with kuttu puris, samwat chawal, namkeen lassi and cham cham this spread works well with those wanting to revel in variety.
2. NATHUS
Nathan has on offer delectable singhara puris made with arbi, fried aloo chaat, sitaphal ki sabzi, sookhi arbi, aloo rasedaar all cooked in pure desi ghee. However, don’t go on the ingredients as this thali is extremely light. The aloo rasedaar sans tomatoes and spices tastes as good. Kheera raita, pudina chutney and makhana/bheej barfi on the side completes the spread.
