    About Sundal

    Sundal is a dry dish made of desi channa, kabuli channa, or black eyed beans that has been seasoned with mustard, green chilies, ginger, and coconut. Chickpea Sundal is a delicious and nutritious teatime snack.

    Its high in minerals like manganese, magnesium, zinc, iron, and copper, as well as vitamins like thiamine and B6. - Chickpeas, like other legumes, provide the body with a slow and gradual release of energy over an extended period of time, assisting in blood sugar stabilisation.

    It is sold as a snack in public areas such as beaches. Also made for most Tamil Nadu festivals as an offering to God (Neivedhyam). It is also served as prasadam in some temples.

    Ingredients for Chana Masala Sundal 

    Channa / Kabuli Channa / Chickpeas :

    Given that chickpeas are legumes, they taste a lot like beans. Because they are starchy, most people compare their flavour to cannellini and pinto beans. They also have an earthy flavour with nutty undertones.

    Coconut :

    Coconut meat is delicious and slightly sweet, and it can be eaten raw or dried. It is used to make a variety of products, including coconut milk, cream, and oil.

    Mustard Seeds :

    They are used as a seasoning rather than a base flavour in many Indian dishes, and they really perk up a lentil or rice dish when fried in a little oil with curry leaves . As a result, mustard seeds are excellent for adding flavour without adding fat to your diet.

    Urad dal :

    When cooked, urad has an earthy flavour and an unusual mucousy texture.

    How to Cook Chana for Sundal

    Step 1: 

    Wash and soak channa in lots of water overnight. Drain the water and add it to pressure cooker. Cover with fresh water and add salt to it.

    Step 2: 

    Pressure cook it for 4 whistle. Then simmer for 20 mins. Now switch off the flame and let the steam go all by itself.

    Step 3:

    Open the pressure cooker and drain the water and set aside.
