Navratri is the nine-day fast dedicated to Goddess Durga, it is one of the biggest festivals of India. Devotees worship nine incarnations of the Goddess on these auspicious days. The eighth day of Navratri is Ashtami when people keep fast of goddess Durga’s most significant incarnation. In many households, Ashtami is celebrated with much fervour. From seventh to ninth day there is great solemnization, and hence on the seventh day, there is a process to prepare sweetened porridge, on the eighth-day people prepare halwa that is pudding and on ninth day they prepare khichdi. But here I am preparing the most considerable prasadam which is halwa puri and chana. Let’s learn step by step process to prepare this.
