Question 1

1. What makes the no-cook peanut sundal different from regular sundal?

Accepted Answer

This version skips tempering and cooking completely. Instead, it uses coconut oil and fresh ingredients to add flavour, making it quicker while still keeping the traditional taste profile intact.

Question 2

2. Can I store no-cook peanut sundal for later?

Accepted Answer

It is best eaten fresh. Storing it can release moisture from the onion and coconut, which softens the peanuts and slightly dulls the overall taste and texture.

Question 3

3. Is this recipe suitable for fasting or prasad?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this preparation is often served during Navratri as prasad. Just ensure the ingredients used align with your specific fasting guidelines.

Question 4

4. Can I use salted peanuts for this recipe?

Accepted Answer

Unsalted peanuts work best as they allow better control over seasoning. Salted ones can make the dish overly salty and reduce the balance created by lemon and coconut.
