Kondakadalai Sundal is prepared by cooking soaked Chana (chickpeas) and then by tempering with spices and enhanced with coconut. I have used Sundal Powder to enhance its flavor and taste, but you can skip it if you are in a hurry and pressed against time. You can make the same recipe using Kala Chana (Black Chickpeas) as well.

Sundals are often prepared for the gods offering and during festivals in Tamil Nadu. Kondakadalai Sundal is one of the popular sundals that we make for most of the festivals. It's a delicious recipe that will be prepared by all devotees on the auspicious occasion of Navarathri. We invite relatives, friends, neighbors to our homes for Golu and distribute prasadham, gifts, etc. Sundals are popular during Navarathri as these are offered as prasadhams to the guests visiting our home.
Not just for festivals and gods offering, this is also a power packed snack for the kids. It's protein rich and filling snack. You can serve Kondakadalai sundal as a snack with tea or side dish with rice varieties. As we are adding coconut, the shelf life of this sundal is limited upto 8 hours only.
