Peanut Sundal | Verkadalai sundal| groundnut or nilakadalai sundal is a popular south Indian style sundal made with peanuts and coconut. .Flavorful verkadala sundal is perfect for the Navaratri recipe.
WHY Verkadalai sundal?
During Navaratri, if you are looking for a quick Sundal recipe, Nilakada sundal is one tasty option. I generally soak dal for 1 hour but if you forgot to soak you can just soak for additional time and prepare this Sundal.
Healthy snacks
Protein, the fiber-rich peanut is good for kids and Adults. Sundal can be tasty after-school / school snacks for kids. Healthy peanuts have good fat.
Can I skip soaking
Soaking helps for better cooking and also aids in digestion. Peanuts don’t require much soaking. Avoid soaking for a long time.
DO I NEED TO MEASURE WATER FOR SOAKING?
Quantifying the water is optional. Adjust the water according to your peanuts.
WHY COCONUT OIL FOR SUNDAL?
I like coconut oil flavor for coconut-based recipes. If you are not a big fan of coconut oil, you can use any cooking oil of your choice.
SHOULD I DESEED CHILI?
You can adjust chilli according to your taste. To make it toddler-friendly use whole red chili.
