Navratri is all about enjoying dishes that are light, satvik, and full of flavour, and this makhana hummus dip checks every box. It’s a delightful twist on the traditional Middle Eastern dip, swapping out chickpeas for roasted makhana (fox nuts), which makes it not only vrat-friendly but also nourishing. It’s perfect for dipping with vrat snacks or crunchy veggie sticks.
