CHANNA DHAL SUNDAL

                                                           NAVARATHRI - DAY 7

This is  a very tasty Sundal...does not require over night soaking...but incase you want to, you can. But normally, it is sufficient if you soak channa dhal in hot water for 3-4 hours.

Ingredients

Channa dhal - 1/2 cup, soaked in hot water for 3-4 hours, then pressure cooked

Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp

To season

Cooking oil - 2 tsps

Hing powder - 1/4 tsp

Mustard seeds - 3/4 tsp

Green chillies - 4, chopped

Red chillies - 3, broken

Curry leaves

Fresh grated coconut - 3 tsps

Pressure cooked channa dhal, with turmeric powder, coconut topped then
