Thondekayi Palya / Thindoora Sabzi

This is one of my favourite side dish. It is healthy as it has got chick peas and is also easy to prepare. This is how it is done:

Ingredients: ಕಡಲೆ ಕಾಳು / Kabul Channa - 1/4 cup

ತೊಂಡೆಕಾಯಿ / Thindora - 1 cup

ಸಾಂಬಾರ್ ಪುಡಿ /Sambar Powder - 1 tsp

ಉದ್ದಿನ ಬೆಳೆ / Urad dhal - 1tsp(optional)

Coriander leaves - 1 Tb spoon

ಉಪ್ಪು / Salt

Oil - 1 tsp

Method:

• Soak kabul Channa for overnight.
• Pressure cook them for one whistle with little salt.
• In a heavy pan, add oil, then add urad dhal.
• When the urad dhal is golden brown add the thindoora & fry little.
• Then add the channa, sambar powder & salt together.
• Mix all together, close the lid of the pan & allow it to boil on low heat.
• Give occasional stirs to it until cooked.
• At last sprinkle the chopped coriander leaves on top. Serve with hot chapathi or with rice & sambar.
