Soak peas overnight or about 6 hrs minimum. Pressure cook with little salt for about 3 -4 times or till done. These need not be very soft. The crunchy feeling adds to the taste.
Once done, drain the peas and keep aside. You can use the water as soup stock or add in rasam.
Heat a Kadai with oil, once hot, splutter the mustard and Urad dal along with curry leaves.
After sauteing for 1 minute, add the cooked peas combine everything well and cook for 2 -3 mins depending the water content.
Remove from fire and add the grated carrot and coconut. This need not be cooked and it adds a great taste to the salad.
