On this day of Durga Puja, 9 Kanyas(Girls) are invited and served with Kaala Chana, Poories and Suji or Aate Ka Halwa. It got its significance to celebrate this day by serving Chana Puri to Kanyas.I had made this recipe by using onion and garlic for better taste. if you want to make it for navratri then you can skip onion and garlic.

Its a popular Upvas Recipe like Moong Dal Ka Halwa, aloo ka halwa, Kuttu ki puri, Sabudana Khichdi etc.
