The 8th day of Navratri, also known as Durga Asthami, is dedicated to Goddess Mahagauri. A four-armed and powerful deity, Goddess Mahagauri rides on the bull or a white elephant. She holds the Trishul and the damru in her hands. Many devotees believe that by donating coconuts to the worshippers of the deity or the Brahmans on the day of Asthami, couples who do not have a child yet can seek blessings for a child. To celebrate Asthami, devotees across the country prepare halwa, kala chana and puri. Here, I have prepared the kala chana sundal recipe. Check out the full recipe below:
Ingredients:-
