    Black Channa Sundal or Black Chickpeas Coconut Salad is a healthy and Protein-Rich Spicy Indian Salad made with black chickpeas , coconut and a spice garnish.

    Black Channa Sundal

    As you all know, The Navratri season has started, and what is Navaratri without Sundal right . Today's recipe is going to be a healthy and protein rich sundal with Black Chickpeas or Kala channa.

    Channa Sundal is an important dish during Ganesh Chaturthi or Navaratri. Both White Channa and Black Channa are served during the festival however Black Channa/Kala Channa is more healthy and it is rich in protein. After adding all calories with the sweets try this healthy snack as well.

    What is Sundal

    Sundal is nothing but an Indian Legume or Lentil Salad prepared as an evening snack or sometimes as an offering for god during Festivals.

    The most popular Sundal are the ones made with White or Black channa, Green Peas Sundal. The beach style Sundal is also a popular one.

    Black Channa Sundal with Sundal Podi:

    There are two ways of prepareing the sundal. Technically not just two ways but most popular two wasy are .

    Cooking the beans and then we use a tempering with mustard, Cumin, Hing, Coconut, and Channa or Urad Dal. It is the common and simpler version

    Another one is the one using Sundal podi. Plus the usual tempering.

    Sundal podi is a dry spice mix prepared and that can be mixed with sundal for a nice flavor. I have already shared the detailed recipe.

    Notes

    • Keep a check on adding the Salt as we add Salt twice while cooking the Black Channa and while tempering.
    • Make sure the Channa doesn’t get mashed while cooking.
    • Channa Dal can also be added while tempering.
    • So many variations can be made to this Channa Sundal however this is one simple and easy version.
    • You can also skip adding the Sundal podi if you prefer it simple.
