Fruit Sundal recipe | Navaratri sundal recipes with video

Fruit Sundal is a new and different variety of sundal which i tried recently. Few years back i tried a pineapple salad in Hotel Green park ,chennai. I loved it very much and also tried at home. I have given the recipe in my Kungumam Thozi supplement 2 years back. I just added some chickpeas and other fruits to the same recipe and it turned out very well. Try this healthy and easy sundal at home for navaratri. The flavour of the curry leaves and the crunchiness of the urad dal compliments the sundal.  Check out my other Navaratri sundal recipes too.
