Channa Sundal

I just gone done with cooking and relishing an elaborate meal and I seem to be the right frame of mind to have a really long nap ;). So a quick post this is going to be, a very easy one - Channa Sundal. Channa Sundal makes an appearance only once a year in my kitchen at the time of sarawati pujai. So if I dont click pics of it now and blog about it, we will have to wait a year to see this recipe in this space. :). Enjoy the festival mood, do the dandiya, eat sundal and have fun :)
