Chana sundal recipe (Kondakadalai sundal)

September 17, 2012 by Raks Anand 25 Comments /

chana-sundal-recipe
Ganesh chaturthi / Vinayagar chaturthi is only 2 days away and here is the chana sundal recipe we make for the festival. You can make the same with black chana too. I love both channa white and the brown/black. I often make channa masala or pindi chana for Aj. Sundal I make only very rarely. But I love it. This year we are not celebrating the festival as paati passed away, so made it last week and clicked too. Very simple recipe, but flavourful one. Channa or kondakadalai is how we call. But when I was studying in Trichy, many of my friends call kondakadalai as Sundal as such. It was funny for me for a while but then when I heard it from others too, then realized some people also call kondakadalai as sundal!.

Chana sundal recipe

Recipe Cuisine: Indian  |  Recipe Category: Snack
Prep Time: 12 hours soaking time    |  Cook time: 20 mins    |  Serves: 3

Ingredients

Channa/ Kondakadalai – 1/2 cup


Coconut, scraped – 3 tblsp


Salt – 3/4 tsp


To Temper

Oil – 1 tsp


Mustard – 3/4 tsp


Urad dal – 1 tsp


Red chilli – 2


Asafoetida – 1 pinch


Curry leaves – 1 sprig


Method

  1. Soak channa overnight and pressure cook it with salt and water just to immerse it for 4 – 5 whistles.
  2. chana-sundal

  3. Heat kadai with oil and temper with the items given under ‘To temper’ table. Add the cooked channa drained from water.
  4. chana-sundal-2

  5. Stir fry for 2 minutes until moisture evaporates and add the grated coconut and fry for a minute. Transfer to the serving bowl.
  6. chana-sundal-3

Notes

  • You can add onion after tempering. Also you can replace red chillies with green chillies.
  • You can grind green chilli and coconut and add it at last instead of tempering and adding grated coconut towards end.
  • I added salt while cooking. This prevents over cooking of chana. Sometimes if the soaking hour is less, then adding salt will prevent channa from cooking properly. In such cases, add salt after cooking chana.

Delicious sundal is ready… Its very healthy guilt free snack!
