Thattapayaru Sundal is a very flavourful sundal, you can even make sweet sundal with thattapayaru.As its first time, I tried a simple spice mix for this sundal and it turned out so flavourful and good.I loved it as such and had the leftover with lunch for sambar rice and it was a great combo.

Thattapayaru is also cowpeas,you can check more about the legume here.
