Kadala Curry / Black Chickpeas Curry

Print Recipe

Puttu and Kadala curry is the most popular breakfast in Kerala, India. I have shared puttu recipe earlier and realized that I have not shared the recipe of authentic Kadala Curry which is cooked coconut gravy with mild spices. I love this curry even with some steamed rice, appam etc. Chickpeas is a legume and considered to be very healthy as rich in fiber and has many health benefits. I’m going to enjoy this curry today for lunch with some puttu and hope you all have a great weekend.

Serve it hot with some Puttu or rice or flat bread.
