Thenga Manga Pattani Sundal | Beach Sundal

Thenga manga pattani sundal / Beach sundal , a healthy snack made from yellow peas, raw mango & coconut.

It's one of the popular sundal that you can get it on any beach in Tamilnadu. Adding raw mango gives little bit of tanginess to the sundal and with amazing coconut flavor, this sundal tastes heavenly delicious.

Though i make sundal regularly at home, most of the time, it's simple tempering with bit of grated coconut, this particular version is very rare at our home because of the few extra ingredients it needs.

Last week, luckily had all the ingredients, so quickly made this sundal for our evening snack and it's totally worth adding those few extra ingredients like raw mango & carrot, it totally enhances the sundal taste and it's hard to stop eating them.

Here in today's recipe, i have used yellow peas just like how it would be available in beach, but you can use the green peas also in this recipe.

In our family, we love to have sundal as tea time snack and it's one of the healthiest back-school snack also. It's full of protein, much needed for growing kids, so try to include sundal varieties in your kids evening snack box if you haven't had that practise already.

Ok,now let's check out how to make this delicious beach sundal !!

Mango Sweet Pachadi | Mango Thokku | Mango Pachadi

Mango Sweet Pachadi/Thokku, a sweet, sour & spciy thokku made from the raw mangoes. When i was kid, i was so crazy about this mango pachadi and i kept on insisting Amma to make this whenever i saw raw mangoes in the kitchen.

It tastes best with curd rice, but i like to have as it is just like jam 😄. Now i think that it's kind of like jam,you can spread this on chapathi,roti or even on dosa and have it as rolls, it would be delicious for sure.

To make delicious thokku, you should balance the sourness from the raw mango, so depends on the sourness of the mango, you may need more or less of red chili powder and jaggery.

The mangoes that i have used here have mild sourness, if your mangoes have more sourness, increase the red chili powder than the quantity mentioned here or vice versa.So what you're waiting for?Try this delicious thokku when mangoes are in season.

Nethili Karuvadu Kuzhambu | Dry Anchovies Curry with Veggies

Neithili Karuvadu Kuzhambu, a spicy and tangy curry with dry anchovies and lot of country vegetables. Here in the curry, i have used brinjal, drumstick,raw mango and drumstick along with dry anchovies. All these veggies give great flavor to the curry,even without any one of the veggies,i never prepared this curry so far.

While making any dishes with dry fishes, always under do the salt, as dry fishes have lot of salt in it,over doing the salt totally spoil the dish. And the other thing is wash the dry fishes well as it has lot of dirt and sand in it especially when you buy from local fish market . The imported dry fish that come in package hardly have any sand,but still it's better to soak for 15 mins in hot water and wash it thrice before using it.

First soak the tamarind in water for 30 mins.In the meantime, take the karuvadu and soak it in warm water for 15 mins,then remove the head with your finger and wash it in water for atleast thrice and keep aside until use.Then chop the veggies(brinjal,mango,banana,chili) into thick strips, drumstick into 11/2 inch pieces,tomato into small pieces and keep it ready.

Heat a kadai with oil, add mustard, let it splutter then add the pearl onions & curry leaves, saute for 1 min, then add the other veggies expect tomato.

Saute the veggies in the oil for 2 mins, then add the tomatoes & karuvadu one by one, give a good mix with the veggies.

Extract the tamarind juice from the soaked tamarind and add it into the veggies and then add turmeric powder.

Add chili powder & salt and bring to boil.

Cover the kadai with lid and cook till the karuvadu and the other veggies are well cooked.In the mean time, grind all the ingredients listed under "To Grind" into smooth paste.

Once the karuvadu & veggies are cooked , add the coconut paste and water(if needed) and bring into boil. Cook till oil separates on the top.

That's it Tasty & Finger licking Nethili Karuvadu Kuzhambu is ready.

Notes:

Brinjal, drumstick,raw banana & mango give great taste and flavor to the curry, i highly recommend to add all of these.
Sesame oil gives great flavor to the curry.
Nethili and other veggies almost take(10-12 mins) same time to cook.

Depending on the mango sourness, you may need more or less of red chili powder to balance out the tanginess. Here I have used kili mooku mango which has mild sourness.
