KARAMANI SUNDAL RECIPE WITHOUT SOAKING - THATTA PAYARU SUNDAL

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. Here you go, spicy instant karamani sundal for this year Navaratri. Lets see how to make this easy navratri sundal recipe today ! Do try this easy,instant sundal and offer for today's neivedyam.
