Directions
Masala Sundal, a healthy and tasty Sundal variety with Black chickpeas along with onions, tomatoes and Indian spices. For Navratri and other festivals, we have a custom to make Chickpeas sundal, but for festivals and auspicious occasions, we tend to make it without onion, tomato and masala. I prefer to make this sundal on normal days and have it like a salad. My kids love this Sundal and they happily finish their main course, whenever I serve this as an accompaniment.
This recipe is shared by my best Friend’s wife. She did this amazing Masala Sundal when we visited her place during Summer Vacation and kids loved it so much. I requested her to share her way of making this recipe and she happily shared the ingredients and method to make this yummy Sundal. I made this Sundal last sunday as a sidedish for Garlic Rasam and kids loved that combo so much and they are looking forward for me to make this often.

Dear Sowmya
Thank you for the wonderful and simple recipe. You could build up the protein in this by sprouting and carrying on in a similar fashion. Also, the onions and tomatoes could be just fresh and not sauted.
Sure will try your version next time
