peanut sundal recipe /verkadalai(groundnut) sundal
Its navrathi season and how can I miss posting a sundal variety here in my space. Making sundal is always simple as a neiveidyam during kollu days. But, the other parts of navrathri must be a planned and precised one to practice. It starts right from the arrangement of the dolls followed by pooja’s, inviting people, vratams and lists goes on with minute details. Even though its quite heavy to carry out but if we do it with interest and dedication it will always become exciting and enjoyable. Even though we don’t practice navrathri at our home I have loads of friends who do this year after year. 
Each year they never miss to invite me and it has been always my pleasure to visit them. I love to watch the theme they follow each year while arranging the kollu. This peanut sundal recipe is very easy one to do. Not only for navrathri neivaidyam this peanut sundal recipe can be one best after school snack. As it is for god for this neiveidyam I have not added any onion. I pressure cook the peanuts so that they will not be dry and I like my peanuts to be little moist even after its cooked.
