Black Chana Sundal is a dry savory snack prepared by mild tempering chana & coconut. Black Chana Sundal is a healthy snack for evening time and an alternate to junk packed foods.
I love both black(brown) and white chana be it the simple sundal recipe or gravy. We usually make chana sundal for vinayagar chaturthi and ayutha pooja and here is a interesting masala sundal recipe for you. Now lets get on to learn how to make black chana masala sundal recipe with step by step pictures.
About Black Chana Sundal
Sundal is a dry dish prepared usually with lentils or legumes with a mild tempering and garnished with coconut. Iere I have used black chana as its most commonly used for festivals. Soaking is a must for black chana to yield soft sundal. I have prepared a fresh roast and ground masala added to this sundal which elevates the taste of this sundal. You can prepare this sundal for Navaratri. Sundal varieties are not only prepared for festivals , you can make it for mid morning or evening snack.
Wishing all my readers a very happy vijayadasami and ayutha pooja. Hope you are all having a festive and holiday season.
