Kondakadalai Sundal is an integral part of Navratri celebration. It is offered as prasadam for God and everyone simply loves it. We even make this sundal for Varalakshmi pooja and Ganesh Chaturthi. Kondakadalai means chickpeas. Sundal is a snack and healthy too. We even make it on regular days as an evening snack.
