Another recipe for Navaratri and sundal is basically a legume salad with tons of variations. If you want to jazz up the humble sundal a bit, then you have to try this. Normally onion and garlic are avoided on festival days and I have posted a few with no onion and garlic also that you check out here. This sundal served a dual purpose of being a snack and also as a dip for chapati. The spices added a ton of flavor and the sundal tasted great. Other recipes with 15 beans are, this simple sundal and this soup. Off to the recipe.
