Kadala Curry

Black Chickpeas Curry
Kadala Curry

She is always sad that Puttu is always behind other girls. She has been with us for such a long time, that we cant leave her alone at such a moment. So when she came to me for help, i said dont worry, i will teach you to dress fast, so you can go out with him. Please join me in helping our dear friend Kadala Curry to get back to her hubby Puttu
This is what we will have to do

Ingredients (Serves 4)
Soaked Kadala - 2 cup ( soaked overnight )
Salt - 1 tsp
Water - 2 1/2 cup

For dry roasting
Pearl onion - 4
Garlic - 3-4 pods
Curry leaves - 4
Grated coconut - 1/2 cup
Chilly powder - 1 tsp
Coriander pdr - 11/2 tsp

For Tempering
Oil
Mustard seeds - 1 tbsp
Pearl onion - 3-4
Dry Red Chilly - 4
Curry Leaves - 5-6

Boil kadala with salt and water for 3-4 whistles
Puttu
Dry roast the pearl onion, garlic, curry leaves and coconut for some time.
( I use frozen grated coconut because they are almost the same size so they brown evenly)


Puttu
Once they brown, add chilly pdr and coriander pdr and roast for 5-6 mins and grind it to a paste with little water.
Add this paste to the boiled kadala and cook till you get the desired consistency for the gravy
Do a taste test for salt.
Keep it aside and now go for tempering
Heat oil in a pan and add mustard, pearl onion ( it should brown), dry red chilly and curry leaves one by one and add this to the cooked curry.

See she was ready so fast ryt?
Now enjoy your trip with Puttu ;-)

Serve with Puttu/Roti/Rice

Happy Helping!!!!
