Here is my mil's recipe for channa- koNdaikadalai- suNdal: pavalamani pragasam

Soak channa overnight.
Pressure cook the soaked channa.
Heat oil in kadai and add chopped small onion and curry leaves and cooked channa and salt. Add to this a paste of these ingredients (prepared grinding in the mixie):
dhaniya seeds -2 tsp
cumin seeds -1/2 tsp
red chilli -2

Saute in slow fire till the gravy(paste) dries. Add coconut flakes and it is ready now to eat. A different, spicy favourite in our family.
