The moment you hear “Thenga Manga Pattani Sundal”, a lightning childhood flashback kindles your head. A trip to Madras / Chennai is not complete without making a visit to Marina Beach, which is famous for its quick snacks. Though there are quite a lot to try like Spicy Molaga Bhajis… Pani poori..Bhel poori.. Aama vadai.. Kai Murukku.. this one thing called “Sundal” packed in paper cones always captures our heart. Here’s you go friends… Marina Beach Sundal recipe is as follows. Coconut ~~ Thengai / Thenga, Raw Mango ~~ Mangai / Manga, Dried Green Peas ~~ Pattanil- / Guggullu / Pachai Pattani Sundal / Vatana / Bhatani.

| ¼ cup | Raw mango (1/4″ pieces) |
| 2 tablespoons | Fresh grated coconut |

| ¼ teaspoon | Asafoetida |
| 6 leaves | Curry leaves |
| ½ teaspoon | Ginger (finely minced) |
| 1 teaspoon | Oil |
| ¼ teaspoon | Salt (or to taste) |
