Green Peas Sundal Recipe
green peas sundal recipePin

Sundal and Navaratri festival are almost synonymous but I don’t limit something as nutritious and easy to prepare as a sundal to festival season alone. Pretty much all sundals have a similar recipe and the green peas sundal is no different. The only thing that you would need to remember to do ahead is the soaking. I used dried green peas for making this green peas sundal and it needs to be soaked for about 4 hours in warm water before preparing sundal with it.

Generally, fresh peas is not used for sundal since it has too much moisture and the consistency won’t work well. My mom makes a thoran with fresh peas though, which is delicious and follows a slightly different recipe. So for this recipe, use dried peas – either green or white – soak it and pressure cook it before turning it into this easy and lovely sunday for your navratri cooking and preparations.
