Legumes are one of the most nutritious ingredients that we can add to a normal dish to make it an extra healthy dish. :)
The choice of legumes make me feel really excited about it. Every time I visit the market, there is some new legume that I can experiment with. :)
This time its the pigeon pea also called the toor dhall bean that caught my attention. I just loved the cute red dotted combined with a bright green color of the pea. :)
Ingredients:
Pigeon pea(Thuvar dhall bean) - 1 cup
Coconut - 1 tbl sp
Onion - 1
Garlic - 2 pods
Ginger - 1/2 inch piece
Green chillies - 2
Turmeric powder - a pinch
Asafoetida - a pinch
Lemon - 1 tsp
Salt - for taste
Coriander leaves
Curry leaves
Method:
Cook the pigeon pea. Grind coconut, onion, ginger, garlic, green chillies, turmeric, asafoetida and salt together and keep it aside. Take a spoon of oil in a pan and season mustard and curry leaves. Now add the ground paste and fry for few min till the raw smell leaves. Once done add the cooked pea along with lemon extract and saute well. Garnish with finely chopped coriander leaves. Pigeon pea sundal is ready to eat :)
Serve it hot. You can have it just like that or with curd rice.

Yummy and delicious sundal.
nithya, you can make lovely rasam with this thuvarai, just substitute them for our normal thuvaram paruppu in the ususal paruppu rasam, but no garlic since it has a distint flavour. u can also make rasam with mochai paruppu, try , ur family will get addicted to it

Hey Nithya, how've you been, long time huh?? The sundal looks delish...do you get these in the USA? I have never seen them here. Back home we used to get plenty of these in Hyderabad, mom used to boil them with a little salt and done. It used to be our evening snack, all of us used to sit in the garden with a big bowl of boiled peas(with the pod). So peel and gobble it up! See don't blame me for this long comment, you have made me nostalgic!
Looks yum !
We always boil these in salty water..try sometime..it taste yummm :)
