Peanut Sundal | Protein Rich Snack| Gluten Free And Vegan Recipe

Dear Supermoms,

Wishing you all a very Happy Navratri.

Everybody loves Peanuts. Roasted, Fried, Boiled, Salted, inside a chikki and off late Snickers too. How can we not do Sundal with it. Peanut Sundal is one of the most popular sundal at our home. It features on the Navratri menu every year.

The best part of this sundal is the way the freshly ground sundal masala complements boiled peanuts and takes the taste to a different level. Hope you try it and get compliments from your family.

A quick tip on Sundal Masala Powder: Make a larger batch and bottle it so that you can use this masala/podi in other varieties of sundal too.

Here is a quick way to make Peanut Sundal.
