Green gram sweet sundal recipe with step by step pictures. Easy sundal recipe for Navaratri. If you are looking for something different and easy, then this sweet sundal is a must try.

Sundals can be made with any legume or pulses like moong dal. These are popular during Navaratri festival time.
Check out my Navaratri menu plan for 9 days to get inspired and plan yours easily. There is also a savory version of this in this website.
I remember eating sweet sundal when I was a kid at a neighbour's kolu. Was too too young then, just remember it.
And it was with either red karamani or rajma. Mom haven't made sweet version for navaratri golu I guess.
But I felt like trying for the Navaratri prasadam and thought of trying this as I knew this will be very flavourful and healthy!
I referred Shanthiji’s post for making this, as I have not made this version before… I made this for my first day of Kolu. Simple,tasty and nutritious! What else we need ? 🙂
