    Kondakadalai sundal  is a very healthy and nutritious sundal. Sundal is a very nutritious snack where legumes / lentils are cooked then tossed in a seasoning. There are many variations to this chana sundal which I’ve posted earlier…Black Chana Sundal and White Chana Sundal.

    Here I have tried with sundal podi as suggested by my sis and it turned out so flavourful and good that the sundal got over in no time.I made this sundal and clicked specifically to post it for Ayutha Pooja and totally forgot it, and that justifies the last minute posting for tomorrows Ayutha Poojai. You can even try this for navaratri sundal.

    Notes

    • Cook chana until soft else it will not catch the masala well.
    • Adding salt while cooking chana is must so that the salt catches well when we add it at that stage.
    • You can make the masala powder in advance and store it.
    • I didn't have coriander seeds so used homemade coriander powder.
    • You can replace coriander powder with 1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds.
