It's Navrathri time. Festival of dolls or Bommai Golu. It's an auspicious occasion in Brahmin households to arrange dolls depicting mythological stories from epic Ramayana and Mahabharata. Each day of the festival we make different prasadam to goddesses Durga. Today I made a simple sundal with white peas.
White peas - 250grams (soak for 5 hours and cook it for one whistle)
Coconut pieces a few cut into thin slices.
Mango pieces a few cut into thin slices.
For tadka
Oil one tsp
Mustard 1/4 tsp
Urad dhal 1/2 tsp
Channa dhal 1/2 tsp
Green chilli two cut into small pieces.
Ginger a small piece.
Method of preparation
Wash and soak white peas for 5 hours and pressure cook it for one whistle with little haldi and salt. Drain excess water keep aside. Chop coconut, mango, ginger and chilli into fine thin pieces. Keep aside. In a heated pan add oil, mustard, urad and channa dhal. Let the mustard crackle. Now add cooked white peas. Mix well. Off the stove. Add chopped coconut, mango, ginger and green chilli. Toss it. Adjust salt. Offer this delicious sundal as offering to God and serve it in leaf cups (donnai) as prasadam for Navrathri haldi kumkum.
