Thenga Manga Pattani Sundal / Beach Sundal Recipe is a snack prepared with boiled white peas, grinded coconut and topped with raw mangoes, sold in the Chennai Marina beach. I asked myself, after posting some decent number of posts in my blog how can I forget this yummy sundal? After marriage I have almost spent solid 8 years in Chennai. Atleast monthly 3 to 4 times I used to go to Marina beach with hubby, enjoy the sea breeze, a long walk and never forget to taste this sundal. Though I am concerned about the hygiene, the smell of the sundal makes me to buy it. While typing I can remember this nostalgic memories. After moving to Bangalore I miss Marina Beach and Chennai a lot. I hope all of you like this picture, as I am the first to take food pic using sand.
