This is a healthy and traditional sundal preparation using black channa / chickpeas flavoured with aromatic spice powder. I learnt this from my brahmin friend Divya vijay.
Try this protein rich sundal for kids snack box and also it is perfect to be offered as prasadam during South Indian Hindu festivals especially during Ganesha chathurthi, Navarathri.
Ingredients:
Black channa / chick peas - 1 cup
After it crackles, add cooked channa and salt; continue mixing till the moisture evaporates if any.
Finally sprinkle grated coconut and the spice powder; give it a thorough mix.
Switch off the gas and serve.
