Kollu sundal recipe - Navarathri is here and sundal is one of the main dish made in this season in South Indian households. Let's see how to make this nutritious, healthy and delicious kollu sundal recipe.

I love keeping kolu and this Navrathri, sadly one could not keep as someone in close circle passed away and FIL told not to keep kolu.
Though no kolu, I made these sundals few weeks back for Shakthi Vikatan special Navrathri issue.
I am so happy that the issue is out today. Do get a copy and see if you get a chance.
Kollu sundal is healthy sundal and tastes great too. I have added spice powder similar to sambar powder.
It adds extra flavour to the sundal. Hope this sundal will be useful for this Navrathri for you. Check out my other sundal recipes and stay tuned for few more.
