I was waiting to try this Ulundu Sundal as it was not easy to find the whole black urad with skin.Whole Urad Dal is very healthy and rich in iron which makes it a healthy pulse.
I tried to get this whole black urad dal in few shops but couldn't get it and finally 2 days back,hubby got it from a small shop in our area.I was supposed to post this sundal recipe yesterday itself but was bc shopping so couldn't spend time for blogging not that justifies this sundal post today right?! ;)
