Ingredients

  • ½ cup Rajma Sundal
  • 8-10 Mint leaves
  • 1 tsp Urad dal
  • 4-5 Pepper
  • 1 Red chilli
  • 1 tsp Oil
  • ¼ tsp Mustard seeds
  • Few Curry leaves
  • 1 tsp Coconut oil
  • 2 tbsp Grated Coconut
  • 2 pinches Asafoetida
  • Salt as needed

Instructions

  • Soak the rajma for 10 to 12 hours or overnight. Wash it thoroughly and add water to this and little salt . Pressure cook this until 6-7 whistles. Drain the excess water and keep it aside.
  • You can add 1/2 tsp of baking soda while soaking and before cooking wash it well and change the water. This helps in easy cooking of the legumes.
  • Dry roast the mint leaves in a pan till they turn crispy. Do not burn it. Carefully roast.
  • Dry roast the urad dal, black pepper, and red chilli and powder this along with the mint leaves. Do not worry if they are a little coarse. Since I used 1/2 cup of rajma the spice mix was very less. If made in bulk, you can powder the spice mix finely.
  • In a pan add oil and add in the mustard seeds, asafoetida, and curry leaves.
  • Add in the cooked rajma and add a little salt. Add the spice powder. Mix well.
  • Flavorful sundal is ready for neivedyam.
