You can use Soya, White Channa dal, Black channa dal, yellow channa dal, Green moong dal, yellow moong dal, udad dal, thur dal, Rajma, 'Mochai' ,Peas, 'karamani', Horse gram dal etc., Whenever you are going to use these dals, please soak them atleast 12 hours in good water. Preassure cook them by adding salt. Then make seasoning and eat. Add masala and mix well. Serve them. For masala: 1. Just grind dhaniya, red chilly , green chilly and salt. Make seasoning with mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Add this and fry for a while. Add the cooked dal and mix well. 2. Just make seasoning with red chilly and mustard seeds. Add cooked dal and mix well. Your sundal is ready. 3. if you want to add onion, chopp well and add them after seasoing. Fry well and then add cooked dal. Same for ginger or garlic too. 4. For all the sundals you can add grated carrots, mango, cucumber, radish, chow chow etc., as per your wish and taste. 5. Tomato also you can add. You can add 'Tamarind Paste' and give 'katta' taste to sundal. Or use 'Aam chuur' or Lemon juice. 6. Add asefetida powder to give a good smell. 7. Add curry leaves,coriander leaves and pudina leaves to change the taste. Note: generally we add fresh coconut for sundals. But here we can not use them.
