Sundal is a popular South Indian vegan snack or side dish made from legumes such as chickpeas, black-eyed peas, green gram (moong dal), or peanuts. It is typically prepared during festivals or as an offering to deities in temples.

Sundal can be served warm or at room temperature. It is enjoyed as a snack on its own, especially during festive occasions, or it can be served as a side dish with rice and other curries. Sundal is known for its savory and slightly spicy flavor, along with the wholesome goodness of legumes.

While chickpeas and black-eyed peas are the most commonly used legumes for sundal, variations of sundal can be made with different types of legumes, offering a variety of flavors and textures. Sundal is also considered a nutritious snack as legumes are a good source of protein, fiber, and various vitamins and minerals.
