September 19, 2014 Navaratri SpecialPillayar Chathurthi Recipes  8 comments

Chana Sundal is Chickpeas Sundal/Kondakadalai Sundal. We normally make it during Navaratri. As Navaratri is approaching I thought of posting this recipe. This Chana Sundal is a very simple one. Apart from the over-night soaking time u can make this very quickly. This also serves as a healthy evening snack.

Now to the recipe…
