Papdi chaat and sabudana tikki.
Restaurants have added special navratri dishes to their regular one for these special days. Though navratas are meant to fast, but restaurants being so creative and flavourful in curating special menus, they have to be honoured. And this menu, will be available only during navratra, so how will I get to taste them if I don't feast during navratra...๐. The food work should be respected.

There are three types of meals Vegetarian, Non-Vegetarian and then Navratra. Navratra meal is no challenge, when people dont prefer to eat Pulses, wheat flour, rice, onion, garlic, egg plant. Some even avoid tomato and turmeric. So what is left to consume? With the limited list of ingredients available, chef doesn't even need a creative hat instead a magical hat and wand to create something palatable.
Chefs at Punjab Grill does this so well.
More to follow on Day 3
