Pattai Pirattal /Pachai Pattani Pirattal /Green Peas Semi Dry Curry




Pirattal is a semi dry dish popular in Chettinad cusine and can be made in various ways.Vegetables like eggplant,drumstick and legumes,even chicken ,mutton also used to make pirattal.
Each tastes unique on its own way.I have shared vegetable pirattal here using baby eggplant and drumstick.

Pirattal is a versatile dish which can be served as an accompaniment or can be mixed with rice and eaten.

Coming to the recipe,it can be made with both fresh and dried soaked peas.Today's version is with the soaked peas and cooked the peas in the open pot.Most of the times, soaked green peas get overcooked in the pressure cooker,so I prefer the open pot method.It takes only 15-20 minutes to cook,meanwhile rest of the preparation for the curry can be done.
