Pattani Sundal is a south indian version of dry sundal made with green peas tempered with spices and garnished with coconut.
Green peas sundal is one of the popular street food sundal, you can see evndors selling it piping hot especially in beach. I’ve already posted the beach sundal with raw mango, now this is a basic sundal version that we can make for navaratri. Yesterday suddenly I remembered that the pack of dried green peas was lying around so soaked it overnight to make this sundal. I made it today morning and clicked it to post it here.
