'Sundal' stir fries are to South Indians what Shrimp was to Bubba in the movie Forrest Gump..We tend to make Sundal out of almost anything..peanuts, Fresh edamame, Fava beans...Anything that remotely resembles a bean or grain & the South Indian Eyes reflect a bowl of Sundal stirfried with shallots, Fresh chilies & a Sprig of curry leaves! —Panfusine
