Thanks for sharing your mothers idea. I often prepare this same sundal with sprouted moong dal and I agree they taste even better.</i> Hi Indira,

This is also known by the name "bebbarlu". Sounds so funny isnt it? <i>Indira replies: Really, I didn't know that before. I think, alasandalu(blackeye peas) are called Bobbarlu in Telengana and Kosta regions.</i> Hey Indira, more interesting names unearthed! This is also known by the name “bebbarlu”.

When we were younger, all of us brothers used to "finish off" the guggillu/sundalu (with generous doses of leftover karivepaku/curry leaf), sometimes by adding a bit of curd. Hehe. It used to come home from the temple where my grandfather was a priest. This is almost like my staple, nevertheless it is always a treat! And just for information, guggillu/sundalu are very much in use in Hyderabad/Telangana heartland. <i>Indira replies: We too, both Vijay and I like them verymuch. They are often our weekend timepass snacks.:) aa... you are the luckiest person. Temple prasadam guggillu are the best. </i> Hello Indira,

You completely deserve it. It is sad that other newspapers just lift and publish and don't really acknowledge. Guggillu is a word we use in our home too and I am NOT from Rayalaseema but Telangana. I dont know where my family picked up the Rayalaseema words from hehe... <i>Indira replies: Thanks LC! Though, we all speak the same language, we use different words for the same thing, in different regions. 'Guggillu' is not one of them, glad to know. Blank stares, that's what I get, for using this type of local words sometimes. Very funny. :) </i> Indira:
