Ingredients
Measurement Details: 1 cup=240ml; 1 tbsp=15ml; 1 tsp=5ml;
- ½ cup horse gram kollu
- 1.5 cups water plus 2 cups to soak
- ¼ cup roasted peanuts
- ¼ cup coconut grated
- ½ tsp salt or to taste (refer notes)
To Temper
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 tsp mustard seeds
- ½ tsp urad dal
- ½ tsp chana dal
- 3 dried red chilies broken into small pieces
- 10 curry leaves
- ⅛ tsp asafoetida
Instructions
- Rinse the horse gram and soak in it 2 cups of water for atleast 8 to 10 hours.
- After 8 hours, drain the water and add 1.5 cups of freshwater and pressure cook for 3 to 4 whistles in a stove-top pressure cooker. If using Instant Pot, directly cook in the pot for 18 to 20 minutes and release the pressure naturally.
- Drain the water, and do not discard it thought. You can use it for kollu rasam.
- Set aside the cooked sundal.
- Pulse the roasted peanuts coarsely. Make sure there are a few whole peanut pieces just for texture and crunch.
- Heat a pan and add the coconut oil. When it is hot, add the mustard seeds, urad dal, chana dal, hing, curry leaves, and dried red chilies.
- Let the mustard seeds splutter and then add the cooked horse gram and salt. Mix well and cook until the moisture is all absorbed, for about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Now add the peanut powder and coconut. Mix well and make sure the horse gram, peanut powder, and coconut are well combined. Cook for a couple of minutes and turn off the heat. That's it. Kollu sundal is ready.
- Serve right away. It works well as a side dish for rice also.
Notes
- As I used salted peanuts, I used less salt. Please adjust accordingly. The same goes for dried red chilies as well.
- Instead of dried red chilies, you can use ½ heaped tsp of sambar powder or rasam powder or red chili powder to spice up the sundal.
- Coconut oil always adds flavor, but you can use oil of your choice.
