Senagala Guggillu | Kothu Kadalai Sundal | Kala Chana Sundal | Black Chickpeas Sundal
Aruna
Sundal or Guggillu is an integral part of pujas in South India. We make it with a variety of whole lentils and this version is made Kala Chana or Senagalu as we call it in Telugu. Sundal also makes for a protein-rich snack.
Now add 1 cup of fresh water, and pressure cook for 3 to 4 whistles, or till the chana softens. If a chana is pressed between the index finger and thumb, it should break but not get mushy.
After the chana is boiled, drain the water completely and leave the chana in the colander so that all the water drains off.
In a wok or kadai, over medium flame, heat the oil.
Add the udad dal and fry till it is light golden brown.
Add mustard seeds and wait till they crackle.
Add split red chillies, curry leaves and asafoetida, and stir-fry for a minute.
Add the boiled chana and salt, and mix well.
Add the grated coconut and mix well. Turn off the heat.
Serve the Senagala Guggillu | Kala Chana Sundal warm.
