Sundal is a nutritious and flavorful South Indian dish often enjoyed as a snack or festival offering. Made with boiled legumes like chickpeas, black-eyed peas, or lentils, it is mixed with fresh grated coconut, curry leaves, mustard seeds, and green chilies, and tempered in a small amount of oil. Occasionally, spices such as asafoetida and turmeric are added for additional flavor. Sundal is rich in plant-based protein, fiber, and essential nutrients like iron and magnesium, making it a wholesome and satisfying dish. The use of fresh coconut adds healthy fats, while the light tempering process keeps it low in calories and oil. Often served during festive occasions like Navratri, Sundal is both a healthy and culturally significant food. Be mindful of portion size, as the legumes' high fiber content can be challenging for sensitive digestive systems if consumed in excess.
