Navrathri is here and sundal is one of the main dish made in this season in South Indian households. I love keeping kolu and this Navrathri, sadly one could not keep as someone in close circle passed away and FIL told not to keep kolu. Though no kolu, I made these sundals few weeks back forShakthi Vikatan special Navrathri issue. I am so happy that the issue is out today
