Kondakadala sundal | chana Sunday is a popular south Indian sundal made with cooked chickpea and sundal podi. The flavorful sundal is perfect for the Navaratri and after-school snacks. Sundal podi gives amazing flavor and taste to the Sundal.
WHY kondakalai sundal?
During Navaratri, if you are looking for a healthy flavorful temple-style Sundal recipe, white chickpea sundal is one tasty option.
Healthy snacks
Protein-rich chickpeas are good for kids and Adults. Sundal can be tasty after-school / school snacks for kids. Sundal podi makes it so flavorful.
can I skip sundal podi?
Sundal podi makes the sundal extra flavorful so I would highly recommend it. You can also skip sundal podi and add extra chilli, and ginger powder.
Should I soak White chana?
You can soak for 4 hours in hot water or cook chana for extra whistles. Soaking overnight helps for better cooking and also aids in digestion.
DO I NEED TO MEASURE THE WATER FOR SOAKING?
No, just add enough water to immerse.
WHY COCONUT OIL FOR SUNDAL?
I like coconut oil flavor for coconut-based recipes. If you are not a big fan of coconut oil, you can use any cooking oil of your choice.
SHOULD I DESEED CHILI?
You can adjust chilli according to your taste. To make it toddler-friendly use whole red chili.
