Scroll down to learn the easy recipes and guide to make them all together in an hour.
Halwa Poori Chana Prasad For Ashtami And Navami
Before you begin, make sure that you have overnight soaked Chana. First, strain the soaked Chana and boil it in a pressure cooker for about 20-30 minutes. Meanwhile, knead the slightly stiff dough for Pooris by taking some atta, some oil and salt as per taste, and water in a bowl. Leave the dough to rest for about 20 minutes. Next, for Halwa, heat some Ghee in a preheated pan and add the Suji. oast it until it turns mid-dark brown. Once it has a brown colour, add the chopped dry fruits and roast for another minute or two. Then, add raisins, sugar, cardamom powder, and water. Now stir it properly and cover it with a lid for about 2-3 minutes. Make sure to stir occasionally and the Halwa is ready!
Now, in the time you kneaded the dough and prepared the Halwa, the Chana must have been boiled. Turn off the heat and let it be. In a separate pan, heat some oil and toss in Jeera, green chillies (chopped or not), Haldi powder, and coriander powder and sauté them for a minute. Add the boiled Chana and the remaining boiled Chana water and then, add Amchur powder, red chilli powder, Garam Masala, and salt. Mix them all together properly and cover the pan with a lid for a few minutes. Wait till the water evaporates and then turn off the heat. Your Chana Prasad is ready! Now, heat cooking oil in a pan for frying Pooris. Meanwhile, divide the dough into equal-sized small balls and roll each one into a round Poori. Deep fry the Pooris and use tissue or soaking papers to dab the excess oil off. Serve them hot on the side of Chana and Halwa!
