Sprouts Masala Sundal (முளைகட்டிய பச்சைப்பயிறு சுண்டல்)

Sundal is a healthy snack that is essentially made with pulses. Traditionally, sundal is prepared on auspicious days or during festivals. Over time, I have shared many conventional sundal recipes on Rathika’s Nest. However, you can always spice it up a bit and serve it as a tea-time snack. Here’s a sundal recipe with a twist.

Ingredients:

Spouted green gram – ¾ teacup or 150ml

Salt – to taste

Coconut – grated, 2 tablespoons

Green chilli  – 1 no, finely chopped

Oil – 2 teaspoons

Mustard seeds – 1 teaspoon

Asafoetida – a generous pinch

Chat masala – ½ teaspoon

Lemon juice – 1 tablespoon

Curry leaves – a few

Heat oil in a kadai, add mustard seeds and when they start to sputter, add the sprouted green gram, green chilli, salt, ¼ teacup (50 ml) of water and asafoetida. Cover and cook on low flame till the gram is cooked and water is fully absorbed. Now add chat masala and mix well. Add coconut gratings, sauté for 2 minutes and switch off the fire. Garnish with curry leaves. Allow it to cool and then add lemon juice and mix well. Serve with a cup of tea or coffee.
