Everyone is busy in Navaratri celebration, this nine day festival celebrated in a big way throughout the country in different form. Indian festival cannot be complete without food but there are some rules for Navaratri Food that known by Phalahar or falahar or Vart ka khana or satvik bhojan. Only vegetarian food is allowed, even you cannot prefer onion and garlic. Only rock salt and black pepper are used instead of common spices.
This time I shared very simple and crunchy
appetizer, “Kuttu Aloo ke Pakore” or “Buckwheat Potato Fritter” which
prepared same as aloo bhajiya. But we have to use buckwheat flour instead of
besan/ gram flour and rock salt instead of normal salt. You can serve this
recipe with green coriander chutney as snack or with curd as main course. For more
