Believe it or not this sundal is a very delicious and healthy. Mildy spiced it can be had separately or along with dal rice combo. You can avoid the masalas I have added and also make it simple with just the tadka/tempering.
Ingredients
Raw chana -1 cup
Fresh coconut - 2 tbsp
For tadka/tempering
Oil-1 tbsp
Mustard seeds -1/2tsp
Udit dal -1/2 tsp
Curryleaves -1 sprig
Asafoetida - a big pinch
Masalas used
Red chilli powder - 3/4 tsp
Corianderpowder - 3/4 tsp
Salt to taste
Method
1) Soak the chana overnight. Drain and fill water over the chana and pressure cook for four whistles on medium flame. Let the pressure go , then drain and keep the chana to cool
2) In a small pan add oil , then mustard seeds and udit dal . When it splutters add the curry leaves crushed with hand and asafoetida.
3) Add the chana along with masalas and salt to taste. Mix well and let it remain for a minute.
4) Put coconut and give a final mix. Do naivedyam(offer to the goddess) and serve hot
