The festival of Navratri (Navratri 2025) is in its final stages. These nine days are dedicated to the worship of the nine different forms of Goddess Durga. The eighth day of Navratri is dedicated to the worship of Goddess Mahagauri. It is believed that worshipping Mahagauri liberates devotees from all sins and brings happiness and prosperity to their lives. If you are thinking of making something special to offer to Goddess Mahagauri on the eighth day of Navratri (Navratri Day 8 Bhog), coconut kheer is the perfect option.

Maa Mahagauri is very fond of coconut. Therefore, offering coconut kheer (Maa Mahagauri Bhog) on Ashtami is considered auspicious. This kheer is not only delicious, but the sweet aroma of milk and coconut fills your entire home. Without further ado, let us share its easy recipe (Ashtami Prasad Recipe).
Ingredients for Coconut Kheer
1 liter of full-cream milk
1 cup grated fresh coconut
1/2 cup basmati rice (soaked for 15-20 minutes)
1/2 cup sugar (or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder
Some dried fruits (almonds, pistachios)

How to Make Coconut Kheer
Heat the milk in a heavy-bottomed pot. When the milk comes to a boil, reduce the heat.
Add the soaked rice and cook over low heat until soft, stirring occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom.
When the rice is fully cooked and the milk thickens, add the grated coconut. Cook for another 5-7 minutes.
Add the sugar and cardamom powder, stirring well. Cook until the sugar dissolves, then turn off the heat.
Follow this process, if desired, and add finely chopped dried fruits.
Your delicious coconut kheer is ready. Let it cool and offer it to Goddess Mahagauri, then enjoy it with your family.
This recipe is not only delicious but also easy to prepare in a short time.
If you wish, you can also add a few saffron strands to it, which will enhance both its taste and color.
