Rajma sundal is a nutritious snack and tasty with flavors packed to balance perfectly with it. When cooked right it turns out soft and addictive snack.
I rarely cook rajma, but really like it. I actually forget this to use. I loved both quesadillas as well as rajma masala.
So wanted to try sundal with it. I have had this sundal when I was very young in a neighbour’s house.
Also its always fun to eat rajama one by one and it tastes so unique from the other legumes too.
So why not try it for this Navratri as a sundal? This is one way of making sundal by grinding the coconut ginger and green chilli.
You can follow same way as we do for all the sundals like peanut sundal, Chana sundal and chana dal sundal as well.
Tastes and smells great. Vj enjoyed this very much that he finished in no time. So I should make this often here after.
Do check out my other sundal recipes and Navaratri menu plan for 9 days.
