Chickpea Salad or Sundal

Author Srivalli

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Chickpea
  • 1 big Onions
  • Handful Coriander Leaves
  • Handful Curry Leaves
  • 2 long Green Chillies

For Seasoning

  • 1/2 tsp Cooking Oil
  • 1/2 tsp Mustard Seeds
  • 1/2 tsp Urad Dal
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  • Wash and soak Chickpea for at least 6 hours or over night. Wash and pressure cook till tender.
  • Then, take a kadai and add cooking oil. Once its hot, add mustard seeds and urad dal.
  • Add the curry leaves and chopped onions along the chopped green chillies and saute well.
  • Once the onions turn pink, add the cooked chickpea and salt. Simmer for 5 mins for the salt to absorb.
  • Finally, garnish with coriander leaves.
  • I normally pressure cook the chickpea with little salt, so adjust it while sauteing. The onions are not browned, but are left pink so that they still maintain the crunchiness.

Notes

Serving Tips
If you are serving this to others, you can even garnish fresh grated coconut, especially the kids will love it. But, diabetics can avoid this garnish as its not advisable to consume coconut.
