    What is Sundal :

    Sundal is a sweet or Spicy Salad. It is usually prepared in India as an offering to god or as a snack. Sundal is prepared with any legumes or lentils.

    What is Sundal Podi:

    Sundal podi is a spice mix used to flavor the Sundal. It is prepared with coriander Seeds, Urad dal, Channa Dal, and Salt.

    Navaratri In India

    Navaratri is an Indian Hindu festival celebrated for a span of nine days during the October or November Months in India. Nava means Nine and Ratiri means nights. Navaratri literally translates to Nine Nights.

     So, for this festival usually, it is habitual to display “golu”. Navaratri is celebrated with different names in different parts of India. It is celebrated as Dussehra in Karnataka. Durga Pooja in Kolkata and many more.

    What is Golu :

    Golu is a display of dolls or idols of god during the Navaratri Festival. It is usually celebrated in Southern India. So daily during the nine days, pooja is performed for the golu and food is prepared as an offering.

     As we all know food plays a major role in all the festivals. Usually, the offered to god will be any variety rice, Sweet, and a sundal.

    Sundal Podi Recipe

    Few sundal Recipes I have posted in blog:

    Channa Sundal

    Kollu Sundal

    Patani Sundal

    Sprouts Sundal

    The sundal can be prepared either with Sundal podi or without. Mostly During the festival days Sundal podi is made in bulk so that we can add if needed or just skip it. But adding Sundal Spice mix always tend to give yummy and positive results.

    Sundal Podi Ingredients:

    Coriander Seeds:

    Coriander seeds gives the main flavour to the sundal podi, so its mandatory and can never be skipped.

    Channa or Urad Dal:

    Channa dal and Urad dal gives a nice crunch and taste to sundals. You can also add channa dal alone or Urad dal alone, Tastes good either way.

    Grated Coconut:

    Any dish with coconut needs to finish quickly. So usually we don’t add grated coconut in Sundal podi, instead, we add in the Sundal. However, if dry roasted and added it can stay good for some weeks together.

    Always put it in fridge and handle it with clean spoons.

    When you are planning to make a small batch and will be finishing off soon. You can very well add 2 or 3 tbsp of grated coconut. It gives a very nice taste to the sundal.
