pattani sundal recipe – this is a south indian recipe of green peas sundal. sundals are legume or lentil preparations made during ganesha chaturthi or the nine days of the navratri festival in south india.

basically they are a dry legume-lentil preparation spiced, tempered along with fresh coconut.

in north india, during the navratri fasting period we don’t make anything from legumes or lentils or cereals. well in the south it is different 🙂

the only dish that we make at home with legumes is the kala chana – a dry preparation with black chickpeas and this is made during the last day of the navratri along with suji ka halwa – semolina pudding and pooris.

since i have many south indian readers as well, i decided to make and post the green peas sundal recipe.

green peas sundal

now in tamil language this green peas sundal is called as pattani sundal. it is made from dried green peas. you soak the green peas overnight and boil or pressure cook them the next day.

you can also make this recipe with dried white peas or even kidney beans, black eyed beans, white chickpeas, black chickpeas, sweet corn and any lentil or legume… when making with mung dal or chana dal, ensure that the dals are separate but cooked well. it should not be mish mash.

  6. I am planning to make sundal tomorrow. this green peas sundal looks really delicious. we also don’t east beans or legume on navaratri like North Indians. But I always adore South Indian food because I love coconut and they have coconut in almost every recipe.
    beautiful photography as usual.
