Peanut Sundal is an easy, healthy and filling snack recipe. I have already posted Peanut Chaat, Masala Kadalai , Candied Peanuts and other peanut recipes. Today I am sharing this simple evening snack as Navratri Festival special.
Navratri is a Hindu festival celebrated for 9 days. Sundal is the important dish prepared during this festival. My previous post was Chana Sundal. Will post more sundal recipes as Navratri Special. Happy Navratri.
