I was planning to post this sundal recipe next week. But I have already started receiving invites from my friends for navaratri. So I thought it would be easy for them to plan the menu if I posted it now. Check out my collections of Navaratri recipes. Generally in most Tamil Brahmin houses and other people who keep you make the traditional sundal. This sundal is a different one from the usual sundal we make. This recipe idea I got from a friend during the last Navratri itself. It was on my mind and I messaged her a few days back about this she was sweet enough to share her way of making this interesting chaat sundal. Thank you so much Meera. So for this Navaratri give it a try and be sure you will good response from your guests. Let me know how it turned out. Follow Jeyashri’s kitchen on facebook for all recent updates. Check out the notes section to see some variations. Check out my Combo menu also to get some ideas.
Soak the chole overnight and boil it in a pressure cooker for 5-6 whistles. Add a little salt while cooking. Grind the ingredients given under the heading “Green Chutney“. Do not add much water while making this chutney. Let this chutney be a fine paste and thick.
Drain the water from the boiled Channa. Chop the apples finely. Grate the carrots and de seed the pomegranates.
In a wide bowl add the cooked channa, grated carrots, pomegranates, chopped apples, and green chutney(to taste). Mix well.
Add sev or boondi just before serving. You can garnish with coriander leaves too.
