Kerala kadala curry is with black chickpeas and coconut masala best had with puttu/idli and dosa. Goes well with rice too.

Any shops/restaurants with kerala cuisine is sure to have the puttu/kadala curry in their menu ! This curry is pretty famous in kerala.

Black chickpeas will never go out of stock in my kitchen pantry. We are so addicted and fond of this curry. When i am typing this post am thinking why dint i post my most popular & favorite curry in my blog all these days! I think may be its so usual at my home that i dint notice to post it 🙂

There is kadala masal curry recipe which i posted earlier which is little different from this curry.

check out the video for the recipe.

Kerala kadala curry

  • Since we are using sprouted channa/chickpeas, already we would have soaked it for 8 hours and then the sprouting process as well. so the time taken to pressure cook is lesser and we need not soak it again.
  • Adding a potato to this curry also makes it taste good .But its optional
  • Garlic is used for grinding and ginger is used in as chopped ones in curry. Do not reverse or combine this process. It is the specialty of this curry to have the garlic taste blended and ginger bites between.
  • Use only coconut oil to get the authentic kerala kadala curry recipe.
  • If not using sambar powder then go for mix of coriander powder and chilli powder while sauteing and grinding.
