Method:

1. Soak green peas dried variety overnight or atleast for 4 hrs.Pressure cook for 2-3 whistles with enough water.The skin may come out, you can discard them as I did or use it as such,Set aside.Transfer the ingredients listed under ‘to grind’ to a mixer.
   
2. Grind them to a coarse paste without adding water,Set aside.Heat oil in a pan – add the items listed under ‘to temper’ let it splutter.Then add cooked peas.
   
3. Give a quick toss. and then add the coconut paste,required salt and mix well. Saute for 2-3 mins until raw smell of green chillies leave.Switch off.
   

Sundal is ready to be served. Serve hot / warm as a snack!

My Notes:

• If you are soaking peas overnight then 2 whistles is just enough to cook it soft. But if you are soaking only for 4 hrs then give 3-4 whistles.You can add salt while pressure cooking itself and adjust while mixing with other tempering and coconut mixture.
• You can even add a small piece of ginger while grinding.
• Adjust green chillies according to the spicelevel you prefer.
• You can even use the yellow variety of fried peas for making this sundal recipe.
