Sundal is about as Tamil as a snack gets — the taste of temple festivals, Navaratri evenings and beach walks. It's made from boiled pulses tempered with mustard, curry leaves and coconut, which makes it naturally filling and lighter than most fried snacks. We serve it at our Sankar Nagar shop alongside corn cups in a menu section we call Organic Snacks.

- Navathaniyam sundal — a mix of nine grains and pulses; the most traditional of the lot

Corn cups
Hot buttered corn is a street-food favourite across Salem. Choose classic sweet corn, spiced masala corn or indulgent cheese corn.
Why pulses make a good evening snack
Legumes such as chickpeas, green gram and horsegram are a good source of plant protein and fibre, so a cup of sundal keeps you full until dinner better than something sugary. It's an easy swap for school kids, office breaks or anyone keeping an eye on what they eat.
