During Navratri, many people fast and prefer to indulge in light, fruit-based sweets that are not only yummy but also fit the fasting rules. Fruits add natural sweetness and flavour, so they are perfect for making treats. Here are 7 fruit-based Indian sweets for Navratri:
A twist to the regular kheer, this sweet is made with grated apples, milk and a pinch of cardamom, a light and creamy dessert.
Ripe bananas cooked with ghee, jaggery and dry fruits to make a rich and chewy halwa for a quick sweet fix during fasting.
These colourful laddoos are made by mashing ripe papayas with coconut and nuts, soft and melt-in-the-mouth.
A thick and creamy dessert made from hung curd, pureed mango and cardamom to satisfy your sweet cravings.
Dates and figs blended with nuts to make a healthy, naturally sweet barfi rich in iron and energy.
A delicious dessert made with figs and milk, reduced to a thick consistency and flavoured with saffron and cardamom.
This fruity version of sheera uses pineapple pulp, semolina and ghee, a tangy and aromatic twist to the regular sweet.
