MochaKottai Sundal/Navrathri Sundal Recipes

                                                      Today being first day of Navrathri I decided to make Mochakottai or Mochai paruppu Sundal.I didn't know the order in which sundal has to be made which day which sundal but coincidentally first day of Navrathri you make Mochai paruppu sundal.Sundal recipes are very easy to make if you only you plan it a little earlier.I soaked the mochai paruppu the previous night itself and then pressure cooked it and prepared the Sundal for neivedhyam.

Kadalai paruppu Sundal/Navrathri Recipes

                                                         Navrathri is approaching  I thought let me post some Sundal Recipes.I have already posted two other varieties of making sundal(sweet and masala).This type is quiet easy and simple and does not require too much time.You can make almost all the pulses in the same way except that the soaking and cooking time varies according to the dal.

Butter Beans Sundal/Navrathri Recipes

                                                    Butter Beans is a new sundal i tried today.I had not soaked any(bean or kadalai)for sundal for today so ran to the stores and was looking for a bean variety.First time i even saw these actually.I was wondering whether they were Lima beans or Soya beans but apparently they are "Butter Beans"..I just soaked them for 2-3 hours( i was not sure if it was enough and had a back up plan of instant yellow dal Sundal😜).After soaking for few hours pressure cooked them with salt for three whistles and then just seasoned it.It is quiet simple and it was so soft as butter!!!!

Black Channa Sundal/Navarathri Recipes/Saraswathi poojai sundal

                                                             Black channa Sundal or Karuppu Kondakadalai sundal is what you make mostly on Saraswathi poojai,you can make white channa sundal also.This channa sundal is very easy to make and very nutricious.I made this sundal,paruppu payasam and medhu vadai for neivedhayam today.

Karamani Sundal/Sweet and Salt Karamani Sundal

                                                           Karamani or black eyed pea or Lobia is a popular bean made as sundal during Navarathiri.There are two types of Karamani - brown  and white in colour.We usually make sweet sundal with the brown Karamani.I make the sweet sundal also with some salt and red chillies but some people make it only sweet i.e only with jaggery and coconut.You can make it either way.I feel it is more tasty with salt and red chillies so that it is spicy and at the same time sweet.Otherwise it is easy to prepare and does not require a long soaking time.It is enough if you soak it for 3-4 hours and pressure cook it for few whistles.Today being first day of Navarathri I made both the versions of this sundal.

Pasi Paruppu Sundal

                                                                            It is Navrathri and it is time for sundal recipes.You can check Spicy peanut sundal,Kadalai paruppu Sundal,Greengram sweet sundal and the payasam recipes for a quick reference for Navrathri.Payatham paruppu or paasi paruppu sundal is the most easiest of the sunda.There is no soaking or pressure cooking required.It is really ideal for one of those days when you have not planned or forgotten to soak any bean.It cooks really fast and it is easy to make.

Kondakadalai Sundal/Kabuli channa Sundal

                                                                        Kondakadalai Sundal is a neivedhyam on pillayar chathurthi,varalakshmi pooja and Saraswathi pooja.It is a healthy and nutritious sundal too.There are two types of this kondakadalai(black and white).You can make the sundal with both and the recipe is the same.
It is very simple and easy recipe.My mother used to make a spicy version of this sundal during Navrathri she used to dry roast channa dal,coriander seeds,red chillies,coconut powder it and then add it to the sundal.

Sweet corn Sundal/Navrathri Recipes

                                                               I thought let me make a new sundal other than the usual lentils this navrathri.I am sure most of us snack on  steamed sweetcorn when we go shopping in the mall(atleast I do). So this time sweetcorn has become  a sundal for Navrathri.It is very easy and simple to make.

Spicy peanut sundal/Navrathri Recipes

                                                                   My mother used to make this sundal slightly different than the usual. It is usually tempered with mustard seeds and coconut but she used to add this curry powder which used to make it different,spicy and more tasty.so everyone who came to my house for kolu used to love this!!

Thengai Mnagai Pattani Sundal

                                                              The famous sundal,sold in the marina beach of Chennai is a long time favorite with the Chennai-ites.Even today it is quite popular at the beach.However, as the beach food isn't considered safe, I'm providing a healthier alternative.
