    Chana Sundal/Chickpea Stirfry

    Oct 18, 2012 · Modified: Sep 20, 2021 by Priya_Srinivasan ·

    Today i had Kuttu’s Friends for Navrathri. Had a good time with all the kids. I m posting a Sundal Recipe Today, The Main attraction of Navrathri!!! My Mom used to say when she was a kid, she and her friends used to have race in visiting the Neighbour’s (Whole Village, acutally)for Golu, Sing a  Song, Collect Sundal and all their Buddies meet at a point to Check who got how much sundal !!! Fun!!! 
     When we were kids, Me and My Sis used to dress up and go to our neighbour’s house with a Kumkumabharani/Vermilion holder and call them personally to come and visit our Golu and get Thamboolam/Haldi-Kumkum. Ahhh, i soooooooo miss Chennai during Festivals!!! 🙁  Good Food, Great Memories!!!

    A Cute Sling Jute Bag for Thamboolam!!!
    Ingredients
    1 Cup Chana dal/Chickpeas
    2 teaspoon Freshly grated Coconut
    Salt to taste

    Tempering
    2 teaspoon Oil
    ½ teaspoon Mustard Seeds
    ½ teaspoon Chana dal/Urad Dal
    2 sprigs of Curry leaf
    3 nos Red Chilies
    hing & turmeric, a pinch

    Spice Powder
    1 tablespoon Coriander Seeds
    2 teaspoon Chana Dal
    5-6 Red Chilies
    1 tablespoon Dessicated Coconut

    Method
    • Dry Roast the ingredients given under “Spice Powder” and Grind them together to a fine powder. Store it in air-tight Container.
    • Soak Chana Dal/Chickpeas Overnight. Drain and pressure Cook it with little salt for 3 whistles or until done. Drain and set aside. Don’t waste that water, try to use that in Rasam/Sambhar.!!!:)
    • Heat oil given under “Tempering” in a Non-Stick Pan, Splutter Mustard Seeds, throw the red chilies, curry leaves, chana dal ,hing and turmeric. 
    This thamboolam is for all  my Visitors!!!
    • When the dal starts browning, add the cooked Chickpeas/Chana Dal and Give it a good toss!! ahh, how much i love this part, tossing!!!!
    • Add a tspoon of the Spice Powder and Toss Again!!! Adjust Salt, add the freshly grated coconut, Mix Well. Serve Warm!!

      You are making me all nostalgic. My daughter for the first time in her life had the real experience of what an Indian festival was, when we visited India this summer. 🙂

      Putting forth such recipes which carry some history and culture is a great step towards understanding one another's traditions. Great to know the values associated with this lipsmacking recipe. I am finding it worth trying sooner.
