Chick peas Sundal!!

Its Navarathri time!!!!!
Back in India there would be colorful Golus in most houses. Themed Golus have become very common in the recent years.
Navarathri is full of colorful rangolis, serial lights, music, pretty dolls, pavadais, and SUNDALS.
All 9 days of Navarathri there are different sundals for prasadam in almost every household.

Due to the request of a friend, I started to write the recipe for Chick peas/ Chenna/ Kondai kadalai Sundal.

Ingredients:

  • Chick peas : 1 Cup (Soaked overnight)
  • Mustard seeds : 1 tsp
  • Urad Dal : 1 tsp
  • Curry leaves : 6-8
  • Ginger : 1 inch ( finely chopped)
  • Red Chilli : 3-4
  • Coconut : 2-3 Tbsp (shredded)
  • Turmeric powder : 1/4 tsp
  • Salt : As Required
  • Oil : 1 tsp
Method:
  1. Pressure cook the soaked chick peas with enough water and salt. Add turmeric powder to get a inviting color.Make sure the chenna is well cooked but not mushy. Drain after it is done.
  2. In a pan, heat the oil and add mustard seeds and let it splutter. Add urad dal and after it turns brown add red chilli, curry leaves and ginger.  
  3. Add the cooked chick peas and saute for a 3 minutes. 
  4. Finally add the scrapped coconut and saute for a minute and take it off the heat.
Enjoy the yummy Chick peas sundal.
