Finger Food Recipes For Navratri’s – Chef Gaurav Chadha, Dr. Oetker India Pvt. Ltd
It is that time of the year again when idols of Goddess Durga are ornamented with bangles, flowers, and jeweled attires. Navratri, one of the biggest Hindu festivals is celebrated twice a year with great fervour across the country. Devotees worship the different avatars of Goddess Durga for nine days. Goddess Durga is believed to have nine different incarnations and each female deity signifies a distinct power. The word Navratri refers to the nine auspicious nights during which Goddess Durga is worshiped and most people observe fasts. It is celebrated twice a year, at the beginning of spring and during the onset of autumn. During Navratris most people give up non-vegetarian food while many others also eliminate onion and garlic from their meals.
Usually a large part of north, west and central India observes a fast on all nine days. Some people may choose to fast only on the first and the last day of the festive period. Fasting is a way to pay your gratitude to the Goddess. Traditionally in Hinduism, the consumption of alcohol and non-vegetarian food is considered inauspicious and unholy but there is also sound science behind it. During these fasts people avoid eating meat , grains , alcohol , onion and garlic. From an Ayurvedic perspective, these foods attract and absorb negative energies and should be avoided during a seasonal change as our bodies tend to have low immunity around that time.
Navratri festivities give you a chance to get back to the roots and deviate from the day-to-day affair. Embrace the joy of the festival with the best of our fasting recipes. From old favourites to newer ones, indulge in a lot more than just the usual fare.
If You are not Fasting and Want to enjoy Call people for small Get together , then Indulge in the finger-licking recipes, specially curated for the festive season by Chef Gaurav Chadha, In-house Chef, Dr. Oetker India Pvt. Ltd. FunFoods by Dr. Oetker promises you a good time this festive season!

BENGALURU HOST INDIA’S FIRST TEA FESTIVAL
India’s First Ever Tea Festival – Tea Festival India (TFI) will be held at JW Marriott Hotel on March 18 & 19 in Bengaluru. Despite being world’s largest tea-drinking nation and having savoured tea for centuries, this would be India’s first ever celebration of the drink. Over 20 leading tea brands like Brooke Bond, Tetley & Lipton would be part of the festival. Also showcasing their blends would be specialty brands like Teaveda & Teamonk Global. Tea Festival India is being organised by Smart iDeAs and It’s Our Cuppa Tea – a popular tea group of Bengaluru.
TFI Organizer Susmita Das Gupta considers tea similar to wine, in every aspect. “Tea is not very different from wine, if you were to compare their aromas and flavours. High-end tea is quite capable of triggering our senses the same way fine wine does. At Tea Festival India, we are showcasing some high-end varieties of tea that are famous over the world! And we want to help more people understand and appreciate tea as a drink.” Susmita proudly mentions that India’s contribution to tea is massive and varieties like Darjeeling & Assam Tea are just the tip of this iceberg.
Some of India’s Star Tea Masters would be holding workshops at Tea Festival India. These include Gurmeet Singh who has 24 tea inventions to his name and Anamika Singh – Founder of Anandini Himalaya Tea. Jyoti Bhat who has done some ground-breaking work on tea pairing will also be mentoring a workshop at TFI. Among workshops that visitors to the festival will get access to are sessions on Tea Sampling & Tasting, Tea Appreciation, Tea Brewing and Food Pairing. Tea Festival India is endorsed by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry and approved by The Tea Board of India.
The festival will also see the launch of Integrated Tea Tourism, as part of which travellers will be offered tours of tea estates in Darjeeling, Munnar, Himachal & Nilgiris, providing them with an immersive tea experience. Tourists will get to see how different tea varieties are made, right from them being plucked to them being served. Organisers of Tea Festival India will be releasing India’s First Tea Table Book on this occasion. During the festival, visitors will also be treated to plenty of tea, poetry sessions, art, photography & music.
