Rajgiri ka paratha- Navratri has started and we all are busy in the celebrations,many people fast during navratri and eat only special food as during fasting grains and legumes are prohibited ,there are few vegetables and flours which are used during fasting.

Most of the flours flours used during Navratri are gluten free .-Rajgiri/Amaranth flour,Kuttu ka ataa/Buckwheat flour, Sabudana /sago, Samu/ Barnyarn Millet, Singhora /water chestnut flour are few among the favourite fasting foods.

All the tuber vegetables are used i.e Potato,Sweet potatao/shakar kand,Taro root/Arbi ,Yam/suran ,Pumpkin /kaddu are the widely used  vegetables.

    @Anonymous-This is brass plate ,brought from India, sour and citrus food should be avoided to keep in it for long time.

    Beautiful presentation.
    I'm tempted to ask, What kind of metal is that plate made of? Is it recommended for serving or storing foods like citrus/tomato/lemon ? Where might you find these plates?
