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.
