    Mom makes this every time once in the 9 days of Navaratri golu. This is such a simple one, yet packed full with flavors. Actually all the sundal recipes are!

    Do check out my menu planner for 9 days of Navaratri for inspirations.

    Flavors

    I always loved the aroma that the house is filled when mom tempers for sundal.

    Ginger, green chilli and asafoetida combines to give a great aroma that takes you out of this world! I love that combination.

    That too mom uses kadalennai (ground nut oil) for tempering and uses little coconut oil which enhances the flavour.

    Though I use refined sunflower oil for cooking, I just love kadalennai for tempering.

    So I find idayam kadalennai (peanut oil/ Not sponsored!) these days in Mustafa and buy that and use it sparingly in my cooking.

    It took for me some years to realise why my tempering is not wafting the same aroma as mom’s or MIL’s tempering. Silly me.

      In case of pressure cooking, how many whistles should be allowed.
