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.
