Hi Ramya, Thank you for visiting my site and for your comments.
Love that you suggested addition of mango at the end. It would give that sundal flavor I guess.
Divya, Thank you for visiting my site. Yes. You are right. Adding mango will give the sundal flavour.
Hi!!!
Sundal looks good!!! lovely pic!!
Hi Ushaprashanth, Thank you for visiting my site and your comments. It is very nutritious too.
Very unique. Is this a Tamil dish? Is it your new creation? This is very new to me. It looks so tasty. It almost reminds me of Mexican salsa variety.
Hi Jennifer, Thank you for your comments. Sundal is prepared with almost all grams available in South. Normally tender corns are boiled or grilled and eaten as it is. When we have it in large quantity, we make vadai/adai. But I tried sundal with carrot and tomato and it tastes good and filling too.
mm… looks yummy.. 🙂
Hi Vennilavu,

Thanks for the recipes, you have made it very simple and easy to follow not like the usual recipes writers who make cooking sound like chemistry experiments with numbers, millilitres, grams, seconds and so on 🙂 The pics were nice too.
