Navratri Essentials

Navratri 2026 runs from Sunday 11 October to Monday 19 October, and for nine days the kitchen switches to vrat cooking. This collection gathers the Navratri fasting food UK families cook the most: sendha namak and farari salt, kuttu, singhara and rajgira atta, samo rice, sabudana, phool makhana, plain peanuts, ready farari chevda and khakhra, and pure ghee, so one order covers the whole fast.

Buy Navratri Vrat Food Online in the UK

Searching for vrat food near me in festival week usually means three shops and an empty shelf for kuttu atta. Browse Navratri essentials once instead, add what your family eats during the fast, and the farali groceries arrive together with your weekly Indian grocery shop. Delivery covers most UK postcodes, which matters when the first fast is only days away.

Farali Flours: Kuttu, Singhara, Rajgira and Samo

Kuttu ka atta (buckwheat flour) is the most searched vrat ingredient in the UK, followed by singhara atta (water chestnut flour) and rajgira atta (amaranth flour). All three make puris, parathas and pakoras for the fasting thali, and farari flour mixes from Fudco and Heera blend them for you. Samo rice (barnyard millet, also called samak or moraiyo) stands in for rice in khichdi and kheer.

Sabudana, Makhana and Peanuts for Fasting Days

Sabudana khichdi with roasted peanuts is the Navratri breakfast in most homes, and the same sago pearls make vada, tikki and kheer. Phool makhana, also sold as fox nuts, roasts in minutes with a little ghee and sendha namak for a light vrat snack. Plain raw and roasted peanuts are here in several sizes for the khichdi and for peanut chikki at home.

Sendha Namak, Ghee and Ready Farali Snacks

Sendha namak, the rock salt used in place of table salt during vrat, comes as Fudco Sindaloon farari salt and Himalayan pink salt. Pure cow ghee from KTC, Patanjali and Dabur covers both the diya and the frying pan. For busy days there are farari chevda from Balaji, Jaimin and Real, farari khakhra, ready sabudana khichdi cups and frozen sabudana tikki.

Why Order Navratri Essentials from Gayatri Store

We are a UK Indian grocery store that stocks for the festival calendar all year, so vrat essentials land before the rush rather than after it. Dry goods keep well, so order ahead of 11 October and read our Navratri fasting rules and easy recipes for Navratri to plan the nine days. Pair this collection with Puja Samagri for the daily aarti and Kanjak Prasad for Ashtami on 18 October.

Frequently Asked Questions

What food is allowed during the Navratri fast?

Most families eat sabudana, phool makhana, peanuts, fruit, dairy, potatoes and dishes made from farali flours such as kuttu, singhara and rajgira, seasoned with sendha namak instead of table salt. Grains, lentils, onion and garlic are usually avoided. Our Navratri fasting rules blog has the full list.

Which flours can I use for Navratri vrat?

Kuttu (buckwheat) atta, singhara (water chestnut) atta, rajgira (amaranth) atta and ready farari flour mixes are the usual vrat flours. Samo rice replaces regular rice. All of them are in this collection.

Is sendha namak the same as pink rock salt?

Sendha namak is rock salt mined from salt deposits and is the salt most families use during vrat. Himalayan pink salt is a type of rock salt and is widely used for the same purpose. Fudco Sindaloon farari salt is sold specifically for fasting.

What is samo or samak rice?

Samo, samak, moraiyo and sama ke chawal are all names for barnyard millet, a small grain that cooks like rice and is allowed during Navratri vrat. It makes khichdi, kheer and dhokla.

When should I order Navratri fasting food in the UK?

Navratri 2026 starts on Sunday 11 October. Dry goods such as flours, sabudana, makhana and salt keep for months, so order in the first week of October to have everything in before the first fast.
