Pudhina Sandhagai(Idiyappam/sevai)

My invention :)

Ingredients:
Readymade idiyappam - 1 packet
Pudina - 1 bunch
Garlic - 3 flakes
Ginger - 1 inch piece
Green chillies - 3
Coconut - 1/4 cup
Sombu - 1 teaspoon
Seeragam - 1 tea spoon
Onion - 1 (chopped)
oil, salt and turmeric powder

Method:
Soak the readymade sandhagai in boiling water for 5 minutes and drain the water. Run it through cold water so that the noodles would not stick to each other. Keep it aside.
Wash pudina and grind it with coconut, sombu, seeragam, g.chillies, ginger and garlic.
Heat 1 tblspoon oil in a pan and add mustard seeds, kadalai paruppu and ulundhu paruppu.
Wait till mustard splutters.
Add the chopped onions and fry.
Add curry leaves and fry for a minute.
Then add the ground mixture, salt and turmeric powder and fry for 2 minutes.
Now add the cooked sandhagai to this and fry for 5 minutes.
Garnish with coriander leaves.

Variations:
Instead of sandhagai, you can make this with aval or rice
