What is Sundal
Sundal is a popular and traditional South Indian recipe. It is a dry dish made with any type of legume. However, white chickpeas and black chickpeas are popular ingredients used to make sundal recipes. It is a healthy dish packed with proteins and seasoned with healing spices like mustard seeds, asafoetida, dried red chilli and curry leaves.
Sundals are served as a tea-time snack or evening snack. Actually, it is a popular and favourite street food in Tamilnadu. The sundal is ubiquitous in South India, especially Tamilnadu, from streets to temples to beaches. Sundals are delicious favourites served as a Prasadam during the Navratri festival in India. Sundal can be prepared in both sweet and savoury versions.
