Thengai Mnagai Pattani Sundal

                                                              The famous sundal,sold in the marina beach of Chennai is a long time favorite with the Chennai-ites.Even today it is quite popular at the beach.However, as the beach food isn't considered safe, I'm providing a healthier alternative.



Ingredients

Dried green peas
200gms
Green chillies
3-4
Coconut scraped
3-4tbs
Raw mango
1/2
Salt
2tsp
Oil
2tbs
Mustard seeds
11/2tsp

Method
1.Soak the dried green peas overnight and pressure cook it with salt.
2.Scrape the coconut and cut mango into very small blocks.
3.Heat oil in a pan crackle mustard seeds and switch off the stove.
4.Add the boiled peas,coconut,green chillies and mix well.

Suggestions
Cook the peas carefully just for two whistles.most of the times it gets mushy.
