About karamani sundal

Sundal is very easy to make at the same time healthy and packed with proteins. This karamani sundal doesn’t need to be soaked overnight just 3-4 hrs is just enough so very handy even when you forget to soak overnight.I love this legume very much though haven’t tried many recipes with it, but planning to try new recipes with it in the coming days. Karamani is also called as lobia or black eyed peas very rich in protein best suitable if you are looking for healthy snacks.  I am sure kids will love the sweet version a lot.

Sundal varieties are not only prepared for festivals , you can make it for mid morning or evening snack. Sundal is one of the wholesome protein rich healthy snack that you can serve for your family. So make sure to include it in your meal atleast twice a week.

Ingredients

For karamani sundal salt :

• 1/4 cup karamani (black eyed peas or lobia)

To temper:

• 2 tsp oil

Instructions

• For salt karamani sundal : Dry roast karamani for just 2-3mins till nice aroma comes, no need to see the color change.Soak it for atleast 3 hrs.Pressure cook for 5 whistles in medium flame or until it becomes soft.
• I divided it into two parts for salt and sweet.Heat oil in a pan - add mustard seeds,urad dal,red chilli,hing,curry leaves let it splutter, add required salt.Then add cooked karamani.
• Toss it well, then add coconut and mix well.Finally add jeera powder and toss it quickly.Switch off.
• For sweet karamani sundal : Soak jaggery in warm water(till immersing level) , crush it well. Then heat it up until it is slightly thick (no string consistency needs to be checked).Strain and keep aside.(I made more than above mentioned quantity for storing purpose).
• Heat oil in a pan - add mustard seeds and red chilli let it splutter.Then add cooked karamani along with jaggery syrup.
• Keep the flame in high medium and let the jaggery syrup reduce and become thick.Finally add coconut, a pinch of salt and toss it well.
• Serve hot / warm as a evening snack!

Notes

• Soak the legume atleast for 3 hrs so that its soft after getting cooked.
• You can even replace jaggery with sugar.
• The number of whistles depends on the soaking time too so adjust accordingly.
• Roasting and cooking the legume lends great flavour to the sundal.
• Do not overcook the legume and make it mushy, it should be cooked soft at the same time not mushy.
• I made the jaggery syrup a bit thick to coat the sundal.You can even make a runny syrup and just toss it to get the sweet taste.
