    In Navratri people have Fast. they generally eat fruits, and food made of food grains which grows in ponds or in a lot of water such as Singara, Kuttu, Sanwa (a type of rice like big suji dana) and drink milk, tea. Normal days food wheat flour, rice, gram flour(Besan), Dal are avoided in these days by people. They eat potato. Suji halwa is also avoided during Navratri. On end day Suji halwa is prepared and eaten with other normal food.

    The Navratri fast is observed from the first day to the ninth day of Ashvin month. People take bath in the morning and evening during this period and some even drink water only after the ritual bath in the morning.

    Most devotees take only a single meal during the day. Non-vegetarian food is totally avoided. Some people confine to milk and fruits during the nine days.

    Some devotees only observe fast during three days i.e., first fast during any one of the first three days and second fast during any one of the next three and last in any one of final three days.

    Suji is made with wheat - so it's a grain ('ann' in hindi) which is unfortunately not allowed.
