Red Kidney Beans Sundal | Rajma Sundal | Golu Recipe

Rajma Sundal, a delicious and healthy sundal prepared from the red kidney beans.

Other than rajma curry, i have often prepared this rajma sundal for our evening snack just either with basic tempering and coconut or flavored with sundal podi, either way it tastes amazing, surely a healthy choice of snacks to have it with cup of hot chai/tea.

Like all sundal recipes, this one also has no garlic and onion in it, so it's ideal for vrata days or as prasadam for the navrati/golu season. If you doesn't have have sundal podi or don't want to make just for this sundal, i would recommend to do the basic tempering along with few red chilies and then add the rajma and finally top it with grated coconut.

Now let's check out how to make this healthy red kidney beans sundal.
