Kadala Paruppu Sundal | Chana Dhal Sundal
Chana Dal Sundal is a Sundal prepared during the auspicious occassion of Navarathri. A simple tea time snack or a festive recipe. Interestingly we don't need an overnight soaking for this sundal (unlike others) and can be prepared quickly.
Kadala Paruppu Sundal is yet another variety of Sundal usually being prepared for Navarathri. We don’t need to soak this dal overnight for preparation as we do for other Sundals hence there is no pre-planning required !. I still prefer to soak it for 1-2 hours for quick cooking, but we can make this sundal without soaking as well. This recipe is very simple, easy, and quick to prepare and tastes divine

Sundal varieties are not only made as Prasad (Naivedyam) but are also made as mid-day snacks. The lentils/pulses we use to make sundal are so nutritious and protein rich. Navratri is one festival wherein everyday we make different variety of Sundal and offer to Goddess.
Childhood memories of Navratri are always so nostalgic. My mom used to dress my sister and me in fancy sarees and other dresses and we used to walk with her to her friend’s house to see their Golu. Not only for the dressing up, seeing the theme of Golu in each home and also getting Prasad are some of the happiest moments in every Navratri. As kids, we look forward for the prasad in each house to see if they are different varieties.

- You can use either green chili or red chili (based on your choice)
- If you like tangy taste, then you can squeeze half a lemon to the sundal

Thank u for the recipe. A doubt -Should green chillies be added along with cooked dal?
we need to add green chillies when we do the seasoning
Can you please tell me what is sundal powder? How do we make it?
Sundal powder is same as the curry powder. Bengal gram, coriander seeds, red chilies are dry roasted and ground to smooth powder. This powder can then be added into any poriyal or sundal varieties. Click here for Sundal Powder – https://www.subbuskitchen.com/sundal-powder-curry-powder/
