During the festival of Navratri, only vegetarian recipes are prepared at most Hindu homes. Navratri recipes are usually made without onions, garlic and common salt to keep it absolutely pure vegetarian. But the trouble is that you might run out of interesting dishes to cook for the 9 days of Navratri considering the strict guidelines about what is acceptable.
If you are fan of paneer recipes, we have an excellent option for you. Have you ever tried dahi paneer? This dish can be prepared as a Navratri recipe without onions and garlic. Dahi paneer is basically an Indian curry that contains a curd gravy. Dahi paneer will not be very spicy because it has the soothing effects of curd in it.
