Karamani sundal recipe | Navarathri sundal recipes

Last year I planned few sundal recipes with different topping ideas suggested by my MIL. 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 sundal recipe. This is no fancy recipe, simple and just like the other basic sundal recipes. Karamani – Black eyed peas – Lobia has one advantage. Even If you forgot to soak overnight, just 3 hrs soaking is fine for this. It gets easy 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.
