Dear Supermoms,
Happy Navratri to everyone.
South Indian Navratri is incomplete without Sundal. I have been sharing different Sundal recipes and happy to see so many comments and feedback to my Instagram posts and YouTube videos. While Sundal is enjoyed by all, sometimes it is difficult to make Children love it the same way as adults. Here is a Sundal receipe that is sure to attract the taste buds of the young ones too. This is a great after school snack.
This is a deliciously sweet Sundal recipe using lobia/‘black eyed peas. Not only is it tasty but healthy too. The best part of today’s recipe is that I am making it in one pot and also there is no soaking involved. The entire dish can be made within 15-20 minutes.
You can use both varieties of lobia to make this Sundal. Also, there is no refined sugar and any oil/ghee involved in the recipe. It is made using jaggery. Jaggery is called “Vellam” in Tamil and so we call this “Vella Karamani Sundal". The taste is further enhanced by fresh coconut. Optionally you can add longer strands of grated coconut will make the sundal even more scrumptious. You can also add pomegranate pearls, carrot and finely chopped apple into the sundal to make it more appealing and more nutritious.

Be sure to make this sundal for neivedyam/prashad and share your feedback with me.
