                                                             Black channa Sundal or Karuppu Kondakadalai sundal is what you make mostly on Saraswathi poojai,you can make white channa sundal also.This channa sundal is very easy to make and very nutricious.I made this sundal,paruppu payasam and medhu vadai for neivedhayam today.

This is my new addition to the golu this year.

1.Soak the channa overnight and pressure cook it with salt for three whistles and ten minutes or until soft.

 2.Drain extra water from the channa and keep it aside.Heat oil in a pan and crackle mustard seeds add urad dhal and allow it to brown till golden.add red chillies,green chilli,asafoetida and curry leaves.(i forgot to add the curry leaves and green chilli while clicking)
