Chandrakala

Chandrakala is a dessert from Bihar, similar to gujia.[1] The outer covering is made of flour and the stuffing is traditionally made using dry fruits like raisins, coconut, almonds, and cashews, along with khoa, semolina, cardamom, sugar, and pistachio.[2] Chandrakala gets the name from the shape. Chandrakala in Hindi means moonlight, so it’s moon shaped.[3]
