Kadalai Paruppu Sundal is a traditional South Indian snack made with Bengal gram or chana dal. It is often prepared during festivals like Navaratri and enjoyed as a healthy and flavorful treat. The dal is cooked until tender but not mushy, then tossed in an aromatic tempering of mustard seeds, curry leaves, dried red chilies, and coconut. The final touch of fresh lemon juice adds a refreshing tanginess to this simple yet delicious dish. Kadalai Paruppu Sundal is not only a popular festive snack but also a nutritious and protein-rich option for any time of the year.
