Black Eyed Peas Sundal | Karamani Sundal | Sundal Recipe

Karamani Sundal, a healthy and tasty sundal made from Black eyed peas. It's been one of the sundal that i used to prepare often as snacks or as prasadam to any pooja at home. 

Like chana/kondakadalai sundal, it doesn't need any sundal podi or heavy spices, basic tempering is just enough to make this sundal as delicious. 

When comes to tempering, i prefer coconut oil for all types of sundal, it gives rich flavor to the sundal and also you don't need more grated coconut on the top.Since we're using coconut oil, few tbsp of grated coconut is more than enough.

Since navarathri season is coming soon, this type of sundal is ideal for offering to god and later distribute to friends/family who come to visit the Golu. If you're looking for more sundal recipes, check out here. Now let's see how to make this delicious sundal.
