Thenga Manga Pattani Sundal (Beach Sundal)

For this weeks BM I choose Kids Delight - Street Food which is hosted by Preeti. As soon I saw the name street food first thing came into my mind was beach, we use to get lot of food there. When ever we are going to beach we don’t mind about healthy foods, we use to eat all junk that day. I remember we use to skip our meal because of these junk foods.

Coming to today’s recipe it’s a nice rhyming one Thenga Manga Pattani Sundal. No need to explain the ingredients hope the name says everything. I remember another recipe, similar to this which we use to get in Ooty and Kodaikanal Masal kadali soon will post that it's our family favorite one. I came across this recipe in cookery show but I couldn't recollect so did in my own style.
