Navratri 2022: IRCTC launches special menu; all you need to know

Travelling while on a Navratri fast can be a challenging task and getting the food for fasting can be an even bigger challenge. Sometimes people remain hungry while on a train journey but choose not to consume the food available on a train. Keeping this in mind, the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) has launched its Navratri-special menu for passengers ahead of the Chaitra Navratri.

Passengers can use IRCTC’s e-catering service or book on 1323. They can also book their fasting thali on tickets from March 28. Passengers can get their favourite food items on their seats. The prices of Navratri-special food items begin from Rs 99 onwards and will be available from April 2.

Here are the food items that passengers will get in this thali:  

• Aloo Chaap
• Sabudana Tikki
• Paneer Makhmali
• Sabudana Khichdi Navratri Thali
• Singhdana Aloo Paratha
• Arbi Masala
• Kofta Curry
• Sabudana Khichdi with Curd
• Sitaphal Kheer
