Recipe for Chundal


Ingredients

Dried Garbanzo Beans 1 cup
Mustard Seeds 1/2 tsp.
Urad Dhal 1/2 tsp.
Dried Small Red Chili Peppers 2-3
Asafetida Powder 1/2 tsp
Oil 2 tbsp.
Coconut Flakes 2 tsp.
Water 1/2 to 1 cup
Salt to taste

Soak the dried garbanzo beans overnight. The next day, rinse them and cook with water, in a pressure cooker, or a covered pan until soft to touch. Drain the water and keep the beans aside. Take a pan and add oil. Drop the mustard seeds onto the hot oil. (Warning: Beware of the mustard seeds popping. The oil can splash and cause burns.) Add the urad dhal, the chili peppers, and the asafetida powder. Stir for a few seconds until brown. Add the cooked garbanzo beans and stir well. Cool. Sprinkle coconut flakes on them. Serve.
