Tips:
- As we already add salt while boiling the chana itself, it is better to add a little bit of salt while sautéing onion and tomato.
- As we are grinding raw onion and tomato, we need saute it well in oil until the raw smell leaves; it will give nice aroma to the dish, else the masala will be slightly bitter in taste.
- Comparing to the ordinary White Chana Sundal, this white Chana masala Sundal will be a favourite dish for kids and adults.
- In this masala type, you can add the boiled potato and mix it with the chana and masala. This turns to be an apt side dish for lunch
