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.

Ingredients:


Dry Green Peas (Pachai Pattani Payaru)
1 cup
Chili powder
1 tsp
Turmeric powder
¼ tsp
Mustard seeds
1 tsp
Curry leaves
few
Salt
Oil
Topping:
Coconut small pieces
¼ cup
Raw mango finely chopped
¼ cup
Carrot grated
¼ cup
Onion
¼ cup
Lemon juice
1 Tbsp
To Grind:
Mint leaves
one handful
Coriander leaves
one handful
Onion finely chopped
⅓ cup
Garlic pods
2
Ginger
1 inch
Cinnamon  
1 inch
Green chili
1-2
Fennel seeds
1 tsp
Coconut
3 Tbsp



Direction:


  1. Soak Peas for 4-5 hours pressure cook for two whistles with little salt.
  2. Grind all the ingredients in the list to a course paste with little water.
  3. Heat oil in a kadai, Splutter mustard seeds and curry leaves add onion and sauté them until soft with little salt.
  4. Add grind paste and cook until raw smell leaves add turmeric and chili powder and again cook for 2 minutes.
  5. Next add peas and 2 Tbsp of water (water from peas cooked) cook for 2 -3 minutes. Turn off the stove.
  6. Transfer this to serving bowl and sprinkle the topping one by one and add few drops of lime juice on top and serve.


Note:
This sundal should not be dry like our regular sundal.
If you need you can add chat masala.
