Author's Notes
Soak the beans in advance to save time when preparing the salad! You can also soak and cook the beans and freeze them. That way you can prepare fresh Sundal whenever you want.
You can make this ahead of time and store it in the fridge. It stays good for 2-3 days.
You can also garnish it with chopped raw mango for that extra zing.
