Beach Sundal Gravy Recipe in Electric Pressure Cooker | Road Side Shop Sundal Gravy

Beachside or roadside shop sundal/Pattani gravy is prepared using dried yellow peas. Cooking dried peas in an electric pressure cooker is like a breeze. You can either soak the peas in advance or cook them as such in the electric pressure cooker.

Here, I am showing the soaked yellow pea version. I personally feel soaking peas makes it cook evenly. When you have a sophisticated pressure cooker, why would you want to waste time and electric consumption? Soaking yellow peas takes only 15 mins timer to pressure cook whereas unsoaked yellow peas take 40 mins to pressure cook. It is up to you to choose, which method works better for you.

You can use different modes in the electric pressure cooker. NPR stands for Natural Pressure Release.

PRESSURE COOK MODE: soaked – 20 mins/ unsoaked – 45 mins NPR

BEANS MODE: soaked – 20 mins/ unsoaked – 45 mins NPR

SLOW COOK MODE: soaked overnight and 8 hrs slow cook. while slow cooking, use a regular glass lid.

Recipe Notes

• I like to soak beans, as it cooks evenly. If you don't want to soak, pressure cook unsoaked peas for 40 mins and natural pressure release.
• Adjust green chili and chili powder according to your taste.
• Adding sev is optional. It gives a nice crunch to the sundal gravy.
• You can even top it with masala vada/potato patty/samosa/or any other chat of your choice.
