This is how South Indian love to have their chana, and it’s so tasty that everybody will enjoy it, without a doubt!
Cooked kala chana is tempered with mustard, urad dal and other traditional ingredients, and garnished with fresh and juicy grated coconut.
In the summer, you can add a few spoons of chopped raw mangoes to the Kala Chana Sundal, for a tangy twist. Similar sundals can be made with other beans too.
Have it as a snack or serve with rice to make a Main Course meal of it!
