Kadalai/Channa Sundal

As Navarathri starts, making variety of sundals for neivedyam each day is a tradition in India. Kadalai sundal is always there one day.
I remember when we where small kids we used to go to our friends house for Golu just to have sundal. They give in small packs which tastes so good. We feel as if we have never eaten this kind of snack. Years pass by, but waiting to have sundal during Navarathri is always special.
