Most of the doctors recommend sundal as a healthy snack . Oh yeah, sundal is the healthiest. It is easy to prepare. If you soak it the previous day night, it will be easier to make it the next day. Working people can soak the lentils the previous day and store it for the weeks usage. Also you can carry sundal to office and just reheat to have it as a snack. It is not a junk food. It has lot of vitamin b. It is rich in protein too.

To make it more tastier, I have added a good seasoning. It does not have onion and garlic. As we use sundal for poojas , I avoiding onion and garlic. This is actually my MIL's recipe.
