Channa dal sweet kosumali | sweet sundal

Channa dal sweet kosumalli is a traditional recipe served in Tamil brahmin weddings as a part of the feast. the crunchiness of the kalkand(rock candy) and the cardamom flavor enhances the taste. Though i have made this kosumalli few times at home, but never clicked once. Few days back i made this and clicked it too. It is a very simple recipe, if you have cooked channa dal in hand then it is quite easy to put everything together. You can make this as a neivedhyam for navaratri too. Check out my other Navarati sweet and sundal recipes.
