Instant Karamani sundal recipe


Generally sundal varieties with lobia / karamani / Black eyed peas/ thatta payaru, green gram/pacha payaru and lima beans/mochakottai can be prepared without soaking. We can make sundal instantly by roasting them. Roasting gives a nice flavour to these legumes and makes the sundal tastes yummy too. 

I won't say it cooks super soft at the same time it won't be hard to chew. Last year I shared Instant white karamani sweet sundal with jaggery using the same method.
