Black bean sundal, quick sundal recipes

Black bean sundal, a quick sundal that needs just 30 mins soaking time minimum. Stepwise pictures post.

I made this few days back, a super simple and basic sundal recipe. Nothing fancy in it. Still wanted to try as I needed a post for this Navaratri season. Since very easy recipe, I did not shoot video. Black bean is a new recent addition after I tasted it in Stuff’d’s salad. I just love it and have tried few things with it. Have scheduled another recipe using this bean. Stay tuned.

This year’s Navarathri and Golu is so different, I just kept Golu for the last 3 days this time. Also a smaller one with the few idols I have. Except for one, I did not Golu hop inspite of the better situation here. Sure everyone will understand I believe. Here’s my Instagram post for a glimpse from my Navarathri 2020 Golu.
