Verkadalai Sundal

வேர்க்கடலை சுண்டல்

By Ganesan Kannan

40 mins Serves 3 Medium Tanjore

A Navratri-special verkadalai sundal tempered in coconut oil with mustard, curry leaves and fresh coconut — a protein-rich, guilt-free evening snack.

Ingredients

Method

  1. 1

    Pressure cook the soaked legumes with salt until soft but not mushy; drain and keep aside.

  2. 2

    Heat coconut oil, splutter mustard, urad dal, red chillies, green chilli, curry leaves and asafoetida.

  3. 3

    Add the cooked legumes and toss gently for 2 minutes so the tempering coats them evenly.

  4. 4

    Switch off the flame, fold in the grated coconut and serve warm.

சமையல் குறிப்பு

பருப்பை மென்மையாக மட்டும் வேக வைக்கவும்; குழைந்தால் சுண்டல் அழகு இழக்கும்.

Cook legumes until just soft — mushy sundal loses its shape and charm.
