A simple and easy sundal recipe that I learnt from my MIL. This is also one of the recipe clicked when I was at Chennai.
My MIL’s special, she made it for snack and I just clicked it. I helped only in removing kernels from the cob. You can try this for evening snack too.
It’s so easy to make and healthy snack for the evening. Skip onions if you don’t want to add onion for festivals like Navaratri.
The best part is, no soaking!😀
