Sundal Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup dried chickpeas (kabuli chana)
  • 2-3 cups water for soaking
  • 2 tablespoons oil (vegetable or coconut oil)
  • 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon urad dal (split black gram lentils)
  • 1-2 dried red chilies, broken into pieces
  • A pinch of asafoetida (hing)
  • A few curry leaves
  • 2-3 tablespoons grated coconut (fresh or desiccated)
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh coriander leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Soak the Chickpeas:

    • Wash the dried chickpeas and soak them in enough water for 8 hours or overnight. Drain and rinse.
  2. Boil the Chickpeas:

    • In a pressure cooker, add the soaked chickpeas and enough water to cover them. Cook for about 3-4 whistles, or until they are soft but not mushy. You can also boil them in a regular pot, which may take longer (about 45-60 minutes). Drain and set aside.
  3. Prepare the Seasoning:

    • In a pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and urad dal. Sauté until the mustard seeds start to splutter and the urad dal turns golden brown.
  4. Add Spices:

    • Add the dried red chilies, asafoetida, and curry leaves to the pan. Sauté for a minute to release the flavors.
  5. Combine with Chickpeas:

    • Add the boiled chickpeas to the pan and mix well. Cook for a few minutes to heat them through.
  6. Add Grated Coconut:

    • Sprinkle the grated coconut over the chickpeas and stir to combine. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  7. Season with Salt:

    • Add salt to taste and mix well.
  8. Garnish (optional):

    • If you like, garnish the Sundal with fresh coriander leaves.
  9. Serve:

    • Your Sundal is ready to be served. It can be served as a snack or a side dish for South Indian meals.

Sundal can be made with various legumes, so you can try different types like black chickpeas, green gram, or peanuts. It's a healthy and flavorful snack with a perfect blend of spices and coconut. Enjoy!
