Navy Bean Sundal Recipe
Step 1 – Soak dry navy beans overnight. Drain the water the next day, add fresh water. Boil soaked navy beans, al dente in salt + turmeric water. Strain and keep it aside.
Step 2 – Dry roast shredded coconut, dried red chillies, chana dal lentils/split chickpeas and curry leaves till the lentils turn light golden brown. Transfer to a blender and grind to a coarse paste.
Step 3 – Heat oil in a pan. Once it’s hot, add mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Once they begin to crackle, add urad dal (black gram lentil) and saute till it turns golden. Then add the ground paste and continue to saute for 30 seconds.
Step 4 – Add the cooked navy beans and give it a light mix so that the coconut mixture coats it well.
