And the tummy has not yet begun to crave ,wholesome, spicy, cereal rich food.
So we can experiment with a few more things.
Comparatively satisfying and pretty to look at , this mini dessert is a little light on calories and is refreshing.
I have used pineapple, because mine was fresh and sweeter than the canned stuff, you can use lychee, kiwi, segmented oranges... mango if you find it...
You need a foil for the bland taste of the tapioca or sabudana and the sweetness of the coconut milk.
A little citrus will go a long way in making this dessert a show stealer. No nuts ,because we aren't really looking to increase the calories .
For the
Tapioca pearls Pina Colada Style -Sabudana kheer in Coconut and Pineapple Day 2
You need
1/3 cup sabudana or tapioca pearls
200 mils Coconut milk -I use Dabur Homemade tetra pack
4-5 tsp sugar or to taste
Pinch upwas wala namak or rock salt
1 cup Finely chopped pineapple or kiwi or lychee or grapes etc -Make sure you save the juices ...
Soak the sabudana in just enough water to cover after washing well.
Boil 1 cup of water with the salt and sugar. Once the water comes to a rolling boil add the Sabudana which would be all swollen by now and would have no water.Stir and reduce heat to medium.Now add in the coconut milk and stir continuously,on low heat for 10 minutes, until the dish looks gelatinous and the Sabudana tapioca pearls are cooked.
Transfer to a bowl and chill.Now chop your tropical fruit and save the juices.Stir the juices into the cold tapioca.Check for sweetness.You can either mix the fruit into the tapioca or layer.Like so.Tapioca is nothing but pure starch,so whenever you eat Sabudana during fasts it is important to add some fibrous element to it. 
Fruit is perfect.The coconut milk acts as a lovely foil for the fruits and the Sabudana just ends up melting in your mouth.
It's easy to make and festive to serve. The combination of fruits is totally what is available to you.Pineapples, mango, lychee, pink dragonfruit,kiwi ,grapes... Whatever is in your fridge.
Enjoy your Navratri fasts.Coming up,another new way to celebrate Navratri.
Jai Mata Di!
