    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.
