Sundal

thod:

1. Soak the yellow peas the previous night for about 6-8 hours. If you plan to make it for an evening snack, it is enough if you soak it that morning.
2. Drain all the water and pressure cook with a little salt and just enough water that they just reach the top of the peas.
3. Do not add too much that the peas drown in the water. This will render them mushy.
4. Switch off after 2 whistles and open after pressure is released.
5. In a kadai, add a spoon of coconut oil and when it is hot, add mustard, curry leaves and a dash of hing.
6. Immediately add the cooked yellow peas and a little salt.
7. Garnish with coconut and stir well for a minute.
8. Remove and serve hot as a evening snack or as neivaidyam on festive occassions.
