Recipe information

  • Yield

    4 servings

Ingredients

1

tablespoon virgin coconut oil or vegetable oil

2

teaspoons black or brown mustard seeds

6

fresh curry leaves

3

dried Kashmiri or guajillo chiles, broken into pieces, seeds removed

¼

teaspoon asafetida (optional)

15-ounce can chickpeas, rinsed

Ingredient Info

Asafetida is a combination of dried gum resins from plant roots; available at Indian markets.

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook mustard seeds, swirling pan occasionally, until oil begins to sputter. Add curry leaves, chiles, and asafetida (if using) and cook, stirring occasionally, until curry leaves are slightly darkened, about 45 seconds. Add chickpeas; cook, tossing often, just until warmed through, about 3 minutes. Let cool; season with salt.

    Step 2

    Scoop sundal into a bowl; top with coconut. Serve with lime wedges.
