Sundal kathirikai kulambu/ kondakadalai kathirikai kulambu

Sundal kathirikai kulambu recipe with step by step pictures 


              Sundal kathirikai kulambu is a traditional tamilnadu recipe.  It is very healthy and tasty.  This is a basic kulambu recipe.  You can make variations with other vegetables like drumstick,  bottle gourd,  broad beans, and some other.  I usually use white channa sundal as my daughter likes it very much,  you can replace it with black channa sundal,  rajma,  or other beans.
