Pattani Masala is a flavorful dish made with soaked peas (pattani) and a blend of aromatic spices. To prepare, soak the peas overnight, then cook them in a pressure cooker with water and salt. While the peas cook, finely chop one onion and cut another onion and a tomato into medium-sized pieces. In a kadai, heat oil and fry red chillies, coriander seeds, cinnamon, and cloves briefly before removing them. In the same kadai, sauté the medium-sized onion and tomato. Blend these with the fried spices into a smooth paste.
Next, blend a portion of the cooked peas with water to create a paste. In a separate kadai, heat oil, fry fennel seeds and curry leaves, then add the finely chopped onion until transparent. Incorporate the ground paste, turmeric, and salt, followed by the cooked peas and their water, along with the pea paste. Allow it to boil for a few minutes, adjusting the seasoning as needed. Your delicious Pattani Masala is now ready to be enjoyed!
This pattani masala (dry peas masala) can be served with Poori, Chapati or any other Indian bread. You can try the green peas masala also.
