Sundal with Mint flavour:)

Ingredients: 

• Kabuli Channa / White Sundal - 1 cup
  
• Coconut Oil- 1 tsp
• Mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp
• Channa Dhal - 1 tsp
• Urad dhal (split) - 1 tsp

• Ginger - 1/2 inch piece chopped
• Fresh Coconut, grated - 1/4 cup

Note: This is a mildly spiced sundal perfect for kids;

If making spicier version, we can coarsely grind 2-3 green chillies with mint leaves and ginger and add while preparing 

Method:

1. Soak the Channa for 7-8 hrs or overnight and then pressure cook it with required salt and water for atleast 3-4 whistles or until it cooks soft but not mushy. (Since its for kids, I cooked till soft) Drain the water and keep it aside
   
2. Heat oil in a pan, once its hot add the mustard seeds followed by Channa dhal, Urad dhal, Red chillies and curry leaves; saute for a min till the dhals turn golden brown
   
3. Then add the chopped ginger pieces and onions, saute well for 2 mins
   
4. Now add the cooked Channa and mix well 
   
5. Saute for 5 mins in low to medium flame till it gets blended with the tadka; Check for salt and add if required
   
6. Add the finely chopped mint leaves and mix well
   
7. Add the grated coconut, mix well
