KADALA CURRY l BLACK CHICKPEAS CURRY l HOW TO MAKE KADALA CURRY

Black Chickpeas or Kadala Curry is made to serve along with Puttu in Kerala.  This is a famous breakfast.  The hot steamed putt along with Kadala Curry or Safed Elaichi Banana (Kunnan Pazham), Papad and Sugar.    Basically, my family members do not like this hence for me I  make it whenever I feel like eating the Puttu in coconut shell.

Coming to the Kadala Curry, the  masalas used by various people are different but here I am presenting a simple recipe.  You can try with the masalas of your choice too for variation.
