Snack at your finger snap - Fresh Green Sundal (Pacha Sundal)

A truth just dawned on me -

My productivity , performance & creativity is at its best when I have limited resources!

This I think holds good in all aspects of life. Lets just take some instances - At work , I have 8 hours to deliver a brain racking report which on an average takes 16 hours of work as opposed to I have 1 week at hand , I guarantee to give my best written report in the former scenario . The same holds when it comes to preparing for an exam . Oh you have no clue - HOW MUCH , my brain can take in, exactly few hours before the exam! .

It is the same story when it comes to cooking . I noticed that when my refrigerator is filled with veggies and my pantry has all possible ingredients that one could think of , I end up abandoning them and going to a resturant ! Yes - Iam that bad sometimes . Well , when I am under pressure to empty my pantry ( usually when we go out of town and Oh.. Iam dead against WASTAGE) , I promise myself to be good and think of various ways to cook with what I have at hand.

This morning when all I had was few tomatoes , onions and frozen Soycutash , I ended up making a sundal. Sundal is something we both never get bored . It is easy to make , healthy , tasty and flexible ( You can modify as you like , you can never go wrong ) need I say more ? :)

Recipe in a snap ...
1.5 cup of Soycutash (It is a mix of sweet corn, Edamame Beans and Red bell pepper)
Salt to suit your taste
Chilli powder (1/2tsp)
1/4 tsp of Amchur ( Dried Mango Powder)
Finely chopped red onions (1/2 onion or 1 shallot)
Finely chopped tomatoes ( 1 small )
chopped coriander leaves
2 tsp lemon juice ( if needed - Amchur gives some tang , so you can skip either of the two or if you dare add both !)

Method ( Do I even need to write ? ) :)
Microwave the Soycutash for 2 minutes . Add all the ingredients , mix well and enjoy . It is good as a snack or even as side dish for your main course .

Oh well , some might think , whats the big deal .. it is just sundal . Well .. call me crazy , but Iam in love with veggies , cooking and Iam a freak when it comes to GOOD EATING !
