It's great as a snack, in addition to being a decent side dish with rice and some gravy. Of course, you can also bookmark it if you are looking for Navaratri Special Recipes. Green peas sundal and kadalai paruppu sundal are certain other staples.
Kadalai Sundal Recipe
Serves 2
Ingredients:
1 cup chickpeas / kabooli channa, soaked overnight
2 tablespoon grated coconut
2 teaspoon oil
¼ teaspoon mustard seeds
½ teaspoon urad dal / ulutham paruppu / husked and split black gram
2-3 dry red chillies
A few curry leaves
Salt to taste
Instructions:
1. Pressure cook the chickpeas for 3-4 whistles (until its cooked but still holds its shape). 3 whistles is a safer bit although in Singapore I feel pressure cooking takes more time.
2. Heat the oil in a pan and add the mustard seeds. When they start to pop, add the urad dal, red chillies each broken into two and the curry leaves.
3. Once the urad dal turns a golden brown, add the drained chickpeas, coconut and salt. Mix well on medium flame for 3-4 minutes.
4. Serve warm as is or with rice and side dish.

I love any type of sundals - this is on top of the list though. I can almost smell the sundal from this close of a shot - but a gorgoeus picture there!

This is such a awesome click of the sundal. Its so real that I feel like grabbing it from the bowl. My mom always advices people who want to have children give channa to kids to get the grace of god guru to give them a child.
