Mochakottai Sundal | Valor Beans Sundal Recipe


The simplest snacks which can be done in just five mins are sundal. This could be the healthiest snack which u can even serve ur children. TH likes this version of sundal with the masala powders. I prefer to have it with the grated coconut alone and tempered on top. You can try this either way and I bet both are equally good. I used amchur powder to give a little sourness to the dish. And adding this is an optional. You can even try adding chaat masala.



Check out my other version of sundal with moong dal.

Preparation time: 6 hours (soaking time)
