Kabuli Channa Sundal


Kabuli Channa Sundal

I was reluctant to try this sundal. then i somehow took courage and tried this recipe... And it came out really good. You would ask me "Why was i afraid".. I am really scared to cook any dal in pressure cooked especially while making sundal. I usually pray god that dal should not get mashed. It is because here in US , the place i stay has induction stove and the heat generated from coils are different from those burner stove. So, i could not follow the instructions given by other bloggers...So, i need to take extra care when i prepare prasadams for god.. Sentimental though :) 

Please bare with my photographs i have just started exploring into food photography.
