    As per Hindu calendar after Anant Chaturdashi, there come pitrupaksha or Shradh. A time to express our thanks to our ancestors by preparing and offering specially prepared food.

    There are many customs that are followed during this period and forbidding onion or garlic is one of them. So we have compiled a collection of  Indian vegetarian recipes without onion and garlic for Pitru Paksha.

    onion garlic free recipes-navratri-pitru paksha

    I have come across many queries on no onion no garlic recipes for Navratri and other auspicious occasions when people make onion garlic free recipes. While listing the recipes, I was surprised that how most of my favourite recipes are actually without onion or garlic in them. 

    Here is the list of full-flavoured and effortless onion garlic free recipes that taste so good that you won’t even notice the absence of these two!

    When is Pitrupaksh 2021/ Shradh 2021?

    Pitrupaksh 2021 or shradh in 2021 starts from 20th September to 6th October.

    Navratri starts from next day when pitrupaksh period is over. In 2021 Navratri starts from the 7th October 2021.

    (Please verify the dates as per your customs in desi calendar)
