Dry kala chana is often cooked without onion and garlic during the Navratri festival because these ingredients are considered rajasic and tamasic in nature according to Ayurveda, which is an ancient Indian system of medicine.
During Navratri, many people follow a sattvic diet, which is a diet that is considered pure, light, and easy to digest. This type of diet is believed to promote physical, mental, and spiritual health.

Ingredients : Kala Chana (Brown chickpeas), Cumin and Coriander powder, Fresh dry spices.
