Navratri vrat paratha Rajgira paratha

Navratri Vrat Paratha, also known as Rajgira Paratha, is a type of Indian flatbread made from Rajgira flour (Amaranth flour) which is consumed during the Hindu festival of Navratri. It is a fasting food and can be consumed during the festival when grains and cereals are not consumed. The dough is made by mixing Rajgira flour, salt, and water and then rolled into small balls and fried with ghee or oil.
