As Navaratri festival is nearing, I sharing the most simple Peanut Sundal recipe with step by step detailed pictures. For me Navratri means “Golu” and Golu means “sundal“. In my hometown Trichy – Srirangam, golu is kept in almost all the houses and for all the 9 days it is celebrated in a very traditional way with different variety of prasadams. I always have a craze for peanuts, I think you all know that as I have already shared peanut chaat, masala peanuts, kadalai mittai etc …, so another reason for me to use peanuts in the name of Verkadalai sundal recipe. So, straightaway to the recipe….
