Navratri is here again, and you know what that means - nine days of colors, garba, and lots of good food. Everyone's busy planning their outfits according to each day's color theme. But here's a fun idea: what if you matched your dessert to the day's color too? 
NIC Ice Creams has assembled nine flavors that pair perfectly with the nine Navratri colors. Let’s dive into it! Here’s how you can make your festive celebration even sweeter:

The Essence of Navratri

Navratri celebrates Goddess Durga through nine different forms, and each day has its own color. People wear specific colors, decorate their homes, and gather for festivities. Food is obviously a big part of any Indian festival, with traditional sweets for Navratri taking center stage in every celebration. So why not add some ice cream that matches the theme? It's a small thing, but it makes the celebration a bit more fun, no?

Here Are The Flavor Pairings for Each Day

Day 1: White - Tender Coconut Ice Cream

Starting with white for peace and purity. Tender coconut ice cream fits this perfectly. It tastes authentic and refreshing, plus the actual tender coconut pieces give it texture. Not too sweet, which is nice when you're trying to start the festival on a lighter note.

Day 2: Red - Anjeer Ice Cream

Red day needs something bold. Anjeer ice cream is different from your usual flavors - it has a rich, deep taste and the delightful crunch of fig seeds that fig lovers will instantly appreciate. Might not be everyone's first choice, but it definitely matches the energy of red day.

Day 3: Royal Blue - Kala Jamun Ice Cream

Kala jamun ice cream for royal blue makes sense because of the fruit's dark shade. This flavor delivers a distinctive and luxurious taste that's different from other fruit ice creams - all the while maintaining the same creamy goodness that NIC is known for. Good option if you like unique fruit flavors.

Day 4: Yellow - Kesar Pista Ice Cream

Yellow is happiness day, so Kesar Pista Ice Cream works well here. The saffron gives it that golden color, and pistachios add crunch. This combination has been around forever during festivals, so it feels right for Navratri.

Day 5: Green - Sitaphal Ice Cream

Green day gets Sitaphal ice cream. If you've never tried custard apple ice cream, it's definitely worth trying. Sitaphal has a wonderful creamy texture that really elevates this ice cream flavour. People love it.

Day 6: Grey - French Vanilla Ice Cream

Grey is tricky to match, but French vanilla ice cream works as a safe, elegant choice. Sometimes you need something simple that won't compete with all the other festival foods you're eating. Vanilla does that job well.

Day 7: Orange - Alphonso Mango Ice Cream

Orange day obviously calls for Alphonso mango ice cream. This one's pretty popular anyway, so it's an easy choice. Tastes like actual mangoes with real mango chunks, which is harder to find than you'd think with some brands.

Day 8: Peacock Green - Paan Ice Cream

Paan Ice Cream for peacock green is interesting. This flavor brings that authentic paan taste in ice cream form. It's refreshing and has that mint-betel leaf combination that works well after heavy festival meals.

Day 9: Pink - Strawberry Ice Cream

The final day with pink gets Strawberry ice cream. Pretty straightforward choice to end the nine days. Most people like strawberries, so it's a crowd-pleaser for wrapping up the celebration.
