Suji Halwa, Atta Puri & Kala Chana is prepared by some on ashtami & some make it on navmi. Halwa Poori Chana is a prasad that is offered to the gods & then eaten marking the opening of the navratri fast. There are different way to make ashtami special prasad at home, my recipe is what my grand mother used to cook before puja. As kids each year we would sit around our mandir at home and were served halva poori kala chana and all my sisters were treated special for this day. They were called kanjak and all the kanjak would eat first and then the lonkra (boys). #ashtamispecial #navmispecial #sujikahalwakalechane #vratkakhana #navratrirecipe #KKitchen #KunalKapurRecipes #ChefKunal #kunalkapoor #kunalkapur #chef For written recipe - https://www.chefkunalkapur.com/halwa-poori-chana/ For similar recipes Kada Prasad - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=we3y3JiIaBI&t=33s Gajar Halwa - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNJBC-TJJTA&t=90s Rajgira Halwa - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l04s83YTco4&t=8s Hi I am Chef Kunal Kapur and this is my space, my channel.
