New Delhi [India], October 19: Navratri meals often bring the same familiar favourites to the table: sabudana khichdi, kuttu rotis, vrat-friendly potatoes and makhana. While these dishes remain comforting staples, the festive season can also be an opportunity to experiment with fresh ingredients and new combinations. Avocado, with its creamy texture and mild flavour, can fit surprisingly well into a variety of vrat-friendly preparations.
One of the easiest ways to include avocado is in a simple chaat. Combine diced avocado with boiled potatoes, cucumber and coriander, then add lemon juice, rock salt and a sprinkle of roasted cumin powder. It makes for a refreshing option when you want something light yet flavourful between meals.
Avocado can also give a fresh twist to the traditional vrat thali. A creamy avocado and coriander dip can be served alongside kuttu puris or vrat-friendly chips. Simply blend ripe avocado with coriander, lemon juice, green chilli, and a little rock salt for a quick accompaniment.
