Minapa Sunni Undalu (also called Sunnundalu) is an Udad Dal Laddu that is very popular in Andhra Pradesh. Easy to make and absolutely delicious, this laddu is made for most festive occasions like Deepavali.

All you need to make Minapa Sunnundalu is udad dal, ghee, and jaggery (or sugar). You can make use Udad Dal with or without skin to make Minapa Sunni Undalu. I would recommend that you make this delicious udad dal laddu with split udad dal with skin because it is significantly more nutritious Sunnundalu made with husked dal.
