Karamani sundal recipe | Navarathri sundal recipes

Karamani sundal, a simple yet flavorful snack prepared with black eyed pea and few other simple ingredients in the pantry.

Last year I planned few sundal recipes with different topping ideas suggested by my MIL for Navaratri season.

But could not post and this year too as we planned our short vacation, I have not set kolu and I am scheduling this simple recipe. Check out my Navaratri menu plan for 9 days.

This is no fancy recipe, simple and just like the other basic sundal recipes.

Karamani in Englis is Black eyed peas and Lobia in Hindi, has one advantage. Even If you forgot to soak overnight, just 3 hours soaking is fine for this.

It gets easily cooked. We usually make karamani kuzhambu which I will post soon, but I tried making sundal very recently only.

Karamani is one flavorful legume, so even when you make it simple, it makes a yummy sundal.
