Theyngai Mangai Pattani Sundal

It’s also one of the street foods which you can have it in my home town Madurai. You can get it in front of the temples. You can get it in the streets during festival time. Vendors will keep selling it in the streets and will take to all the doorsteps. I love to have it. It’s more nutritious also. I use to cook in my home as a side dish for rice and during navarathiri festival.

Its also one of my entries to MBP- Street Food Contest and i come across this recipe during my visit to Shankari's blog and her original recipe is HERE.

I have sauted the sundal with mustard seeds and broken black gram and curry leaves and added a little turmeric powder which varies slightly from the original one to give an added taste.

Event for the Month of September and the Theme is Chicken

I thank all my blogger friends first of all, who wished for my son Amiitesh's birthday and he enjoyed a lot on that day with all my relatives and particularly during the function time. Amiitesh got up by 5.15am itself on that day and went to bed only by 11pm and he don't want to miss to play with his grand parents and uncles. He was very eager to cut the cake from the time we received it from the bakery. He looked so smart on that day and we had a blast of happiness. He was more eager to see the gift packs he received for his birthday and started playing with them immediately as soon as we unpack the gifts. And thank you all again who showered my son with their blessings.
