Senaga guggillu or black chana sundal recipe – Tempered kala chana or chickpeas that are often prepared in South Indian homes to offer to Gods during pooja and festivals. Chana or chickpeas are called as senagalu in my native language.
Senaga guggilu or sundal are a part of the prasadams during varalakshmi puja, ganesh chaturthi and navratri. I prepared these during varalaksmhi puja , thought of sharing this since it is very easy to make and helpful for beginners.
You can use white or kabuli chana or black chana to prepare this guggillu. These can also be served as a evening snack or breakfast to kids since it is healthy and protein rich.
