Pattani sundal | Frozen green peas sundal is a quick and tasty instant sundal variety with frozen peas. Freshly ground spice powder gives a nice to pattani sundal.
Yesterday evening after returning from work hubby asked what Sundal today. I had planned to prepare Moong Dal Sundal, but then I realized I forgot to soak Dal. Then I remembered I had some frozen peas.
Amma use to prepare pattani Sundal with dry peas by soaking and pressure cooking them, but I thought of trying with frozen peas. Sundal was ready in 5 minutes – quickest Sundal I ever had
Ingredients
- Frozen peas - 1 cup + 1/2 cup
- Salt - To taste
- Grated coconut - 1/3 cup
- Green chillies - 1 Adjust according to your taste
- Coriander leaves - 4 - 5 sprig
- Ginger - small piece approx 1/2 tsp
- To Temper:
- Coconut Oil - 2 tsp
- Mustard seeds - 1/4 tsp
- Urad Dal - 1 tsp
- Channa Dal - 1/2 tsp
- Curry leaves - 1/2 sprig
- Red chilli - 1
- Hing - a generous pinch
Instructions
- Microwave peas for 2-3 minutes and set aside
- Blend coriander, chilli and coconut without adding water
- Add oil to the pan, when the oil is hot add the items under 'To Temper' and let them crackle. Add the green peas and salt, toss them for a 2 minutes
- Add the blended mixture and sautè for 2-3 minutes till raw smell goes off. Switch off the stove
Notes
- Coconut oil gives nice aroma for sundal, so it is preferred
- If you are using Dry Peas, then soak them overnight, or at least for 4 hrs in warm water. Pour enough water and pressure cook for 3 whistles
- Instead of adding coconut mixture at the end, you can also add after tempering
