Tindora Chana Dal, Ivy Gourd Chana Dal or Kundru dal is easy dal recipe and works as great side dish with steamed rice, jeera rice, roti, paratha etc and we doesn't require any other vegetables as side along with this dal. I normally add vegetables in dal and make a side vegetables too but when rush these dals are really good option specially on week days.



I have already posted tindora dal recipe and in that I have used yellow moong dal and made it in little different method, you can try that version too and today I am sharing one of the method which I do the most. Tindora and chana combo works really well and this recipe is no onion no garlic so for people whom doesn't eat onion, garlic it's good for them. You can also make this dal for lunch box.  You can check other Tindora Recipes here.
