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 !!

- Since i had soaked the peas overnight, cooked for 2 whistle is enough to get soft cooked peas without being mushy.
- If you have soaked less hours, then 3-4 whistle of cooking is required.
- Make sure to add the add the salt while cooking peas itself for even seasoning in the sundal.
