I wanted to make some Sundal recipe for Ganesh Chaturthi special. I have already made a sweet, coconut ladoo and posted it. I have explained about ganesh chaturthi on that :)If someone wants to read,:) you can ;). The most common sundal recipes for festival are chenna sundal. But they do this also for festivals. 🙂 This is a basic sundal version that we make for navarathri. Navrathri is near by too.
If you are using fresh gresh peas, soak them overnight. You can use it next day. I used the frozen peas 😉 so it was even easier. You can use this recipe to make any variety of sundal recipes. Just replace with those lentils/beans.
