For vegetarians, lentils are the main source of protein. Chick pea tops the list of protein rich food items. Sundal is a favorite food item in South India. It takes very little time and effort to make tasty sundal. Soaked chick peas in boiling water for a couple of hours so that the peas absorb water and become bigger. Cooked in a pressure cooker. Make sure that you do not overcook. Used just a tbsp oil to temper the spices, sautee the onions and stir fry the cooked chickpeas. #rainbowweek2
