Sundal - Chickpeas Salad

Sundal is a traditional Indian chickpeas salad. I love to make them as it is a two minute recipe (using canned chickpea) and it is a very nutritious side dish with any meal.

Coconut – 1 Tbsp
Mustard Seeds – ½ Tsp
Coriander Seeds – ½ Tsp
Cumin Seeds – ½ Tsp
Dry Red Chilies – 1
Chana Dal /Bengal Gram – 1 Tsp
Urid Dal /Black Gram – 1 Tsp
Olive Oil – ½ Tsp
Curry Leaves – 3 or 4

Directions

• Drain and wash the chickpea thoroughly and keep aside to dry.
• Heat half the oil in a frying pan and add coriander seeds, cumin seeds, Chana Dal, Urid Dal and dry red chilies.
• Fry for a 30 seconds until golden brown and then grind into a fine powder using a spice grinder.
• Heat rest of the oil and add the mustard seeds.
• Once the mustard seeds splutter, add the curry leaves and coconut and fry for 30 seconds.
