Pattani Sundal-Green Peas Sundal
In South India, if there is one thing Navrathri days will bring to mind is the delicious varieties of sundals made and shared with visitors 9 days of Golu will see different variations and recipes of sundal (gram) served hot.. They are rich in protein and makes a great evening snack on any day. This variety of sundal is one of my favorites my mom used to make this when I was in school and served it when I got back from school. And the other specialty of this sundal is it’s so popular in beach, if you have been to Marina beach or the Elliott’s beach in chennai, you’d find this selling fast with some fresh onions and raw mango slivers. Ah.. I still remember those golden days with my friends we used to go to beach to eat this hot sundal. If you have similar memories, hope making this or atleast reading this takes you down your memory lane! 😀

Shriya, sundal looks pretty inviting, that pic qualifies easily for CLICK metal at B’s! Loved the way its been arranged! tks for sharing!!
Looks lovely….know what??? they don’t sell pattani sundal at the beach anymore…atleast the last few time I went I wasn’t able to find any inspite of asking around for it…..what they sell now is mostly masala peanuts….those are tasty, but don’t match the simple yet refreshing flavour of the pattani sundal.
that looks lovely.. i make sundal as a side dish for chappatis too..
Sundal looks delish.. I’ve never had it this way with onions, ginger and garlic.. only with plain seasoning.. must try it like this.
I love sundal and can just go on munching it!
Shriya, I never knew sundal was eaten hot! And how long should we keep the peas in the hot pack – should we retain the water or drain it?

Hi sra, You can keep the peas in the hot pack for an hour and after that you can drain the water from it.
