Jump to Recipe Jump to Video Print Recipe

Masala Sundal, a healthy and tasty Sundal made using  Black chickpeas along with onions, tomatoes and Indian spices. We can serve this as a chaat or as a starter. This is unlike our conventional sundal we make for festivals where we don't add onion or strong masalas. As we are making this recipe for chat, we add onion, tomato and garam masalas. This is nutritious, protein rich and tasty. Addition of spices and masala makes this chat very appetizing and tasty.
