Navadhanya Sundal is an authentic and traditional recipe that is prepared in every household of South India during Navratri festival. It is more like a salad made using 9 different beans or legumes
Rinse and soak the above mentioned beans in enough water overnight. The next day rinse it one more time and transfer to a pressure cooker. Add turmeric powder and salt. Top it with water just enough to cover the legumes; (do not add too much water). Pressure cook for 1 whistle.
Once the pressure is released naturally, pass it through the colander to remove excess water.
While that is pressure cooking, start preparing the spice blend. Heat up oil in the pan. Once hot add in the red chillies, saute for a minute and add channa dal and coriander seeds. Roast it until the dal turns golden in colour.
Once the dal turns golden, switch off the flame transfer it to a plate and let it cool completely. Once cooled grind to a coarse powder. Keep aside

Add 2 tbsp of the prepared spice blend and the coconut. Mix everything well.
