Navratri recipes | south indian navaratri naivedyam recipes 2020

By swasthi , on October 15, 2020, 20 Comments,

Navratri recipes, a collection of 50+ south Indian navaratri naivedyam recipes and some snacks recipes to make during this festive season. Navratri is a Hindu festival that is celebrated for 9 nights and 10 days. During this time Goddess DURGA or SHAKTI is worshiped in 9 different forms known as NAVADURGA. It is believed that worshiping the Godess during this period also called as sharadiya navratri brings in prosperity, wealth and wisdom to her devotees and destroys the evil. The 10th day is celebrated as “VIJAYADASHAMI” also known as “DUSSEHRA” or “DASARA”, a day of victory of the good over the evil.

This year navratri is celebrated from 17th October to 25th October 2020. Vijayadashami is celebrated on 26th October 2020.

Each state has their own way of celebrating the navratri, Offering different kinds of foods to the godess, fasting , decorating golu/kolu/koluvu , inviting friends and relatives is a part of the 10 day long festival celebrations.

The fasting that we ever did at my mum’s home was to consume 1 to 2 cups of milk or fruits during the day , abstaining from all other foods and break the fast after the evening puja, with a meal that was offered to the godess as naivedyam or prasadam.

As a family tradition, Devi Bhagavata puranam was recited with much devotion during the 9 days and late in the nights. Special naivedyam foods are prepared to please the goddess Durga and it is also a way of expressing our devotion.

I have compiled some common south Indian navaratri recipes which includes andhra recipes that are offered to the goddess as navratri naivedyam or prasadam during these 9 days. However these could differ from each family , community or region. I have also included some snacks that can be made during these 10 days.

Some people do not use sabudana or sago for naivedyam as they are processed heavily. I have used them for making payasam recipes in the past which are included in the list below, if you have a tradition of not using them, just skip it from the recipe.

Foods made for navratri naivedyam

Sweet pongal, ven pongal, rice payasam (made with cow’s milk & jaggery), curd rice (daddojanam), kesari, medhu vada / garelu, poornam burelu, black chana sundal, panakam, vadapappu and chalimidi are mainly offered to Goddess Durga during these 9 days as naivedyam.

Chilies, ginger & garlic are not used in any of the foods. Pepper corn can be used in vada, ven pongal and curd rice. These depends on family customs and beliefs.

    Hi There,
    I made your pickle recipe, and it was delicious and steadily improved over a couple of months. However, now after about 4 months the remaining pickle in the jar, (about 2 kilos), is covered by a black hairy mould. Can i remove this mould and still eat the pickle, or must i throw it all away. Jar is airtight and would hold about 4 litres.
    Your recipes are great, and easy to make. The only problem, here in the philippines, is the extreme difficulty in obtaining ingredients. I have been living here for 11 years and find all the local pilipino food to be very horrible. I wish that i had retired to India, which i have visited several times, mainly Karnataka, Maharastra and Goa. Wonderful people, food, country and history.
    Kind regards, Graeme Chick.

      Hi Graeme Chick,
      Thank you so much! Yes India is wonderful to retire! I have posted 2 mango pickle recipes on the blog. Please let me know which of these you followed
      Instant mango pickle
      mango avakaya (traditional recipe).
      I read one of your comments on my pickle post where you mentioned that you had kept the pickle in sun. We usually do not keep these kind of pickles in sun.
      Sometimes salt gets accumulated on top of the pickles which look black in color. Just wondering if it is that. I can help you if you could mail me the closeup pictures of the pickle. You can find my email id in my about page. Will check your pictures and let you know.
