Kadala Curry
by Maria on October 11, 2010
If you ask any Malayalee about their favourite breakfast dish, Im sure puttu and kadala (chick peas) will pop up. Its a comfort food for most Keralites. Though I always tell people that mine is a Kerala food blog, Im kinda embarrassed to say that it took me 4 years to post a kadala curry recipe. Anyways, its better late than never. Also Ive received requests from a number of readers for the same. This recipe is from the blog Yummy O Yummy. True to their name, this space has many yummy recipes. I was looking for a kadala curry recipe with roasted coconut and thick gravy and this one fitted the bill perfectly! I hope you will also

Print
Ingredients
Black Chickpeas/Chana/Kadala 1 cup Turmeric powder 1/4 tsp Sliced coconut pieces (thenga kothu ) 3 tbsp Onion 1 large sliced and chopped Pearl onions 4 sliced Green chillies 3 slit Curry leaves A sprig Red chilly powder 1 tsp Turmeric powder 1/8 tsp Mustard seeds 1/4 1/2 tsp Dry red chillies-2 Coconut oil As required Salt To taste
To roast and grind to a paste

Grated coconut 3/4 1 cup Pearl onion 2 sliced Coriander seeds 1 1/2 tbsp (You can use coriander powder instead, add it while making the gravy) Whole spices (Fennel seeds 1/4 tsp, cardamom 2, cloves 3, Cinnamon stick 1, Whole pepper corns 1/2 tsp, star anise (thakolam) 1 petal)
Instructions
1. Soak the kadala overnight and cook in a pressure cooker till soft adding 1/4 tsp turmeric powder and salt. After the first whistle, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 4 more whistles. Keep it closed for 20 mins. Drain the water and save it for making gravy. 2. Heat 1 tsp oil in a pan and add the coriander seeds & whole spices. Saute for a few seconds and add the sliced pearl onions. Saute for a minute and add the grated coconut. Roast until it turns reddish brown. Switch off and leave aside. Grind it to a paste when it cools down. 3. In a deep pan heat some coconut oil and splutter mustard and brown the dry red chillies. Now add the sliced coconut pieces. Saute until they turn brown,add the sliced onion, pearl onions, green chillies and curry leaves. Saute until they turn light brown. Now add turmeric powder, chilli powder, saute for a few seconds and add the reserved water from the cooked kadala. Bring to a boil and add the ground coconut paste and cooked kadala. Mix well and cook until the gravy achieves your desired consistency. Switch off and serve hot with 4. puttu
Notes
The gravy tends to thicken a bit after sometime, so adjust the gravy accordingly. If you are using coriander powder instead of coriander seeds, add it along with chilly powder & turmeric powder while making the gravy. Add around 2-3 tsp of coriander powder. I added a little salt while making the gravy too. Do a taste test after adding the cooked kadala to the gravy and add salt, if required.

I am very fond of kerala food and for this reason I find your blog very interesting. Before I take the plunge and try some recipes, I need to know whether coconut in the recipes refers to dry coconut or fresh. I have not been able to find an answer to this on net.

Hi Neeraj, Thanks for dropping by my site. I use fresh coconut for all my cooking preps unless otherwise specified in the recipe. Hope you get to try some of the recipes soon & like them too... Happy cooking! Cheers M aria

Hi M aria, I have been a regular follower of you blog..All the recipes that I had tried earlier had come out well.But somehow this curry didn't taste good at all.The taste of the whole spices masked the taste of all the other ingredients.I spent 1.5 hours in the kitchen trying to get it right.Finally,added some tomato,more ground coconut,ginger,garlic and came up with something edible. :-( Nisha.

Hi Nisha, Sorry to hear that the curry didnt turn out well. I'm not sure why it happened like that. I always give the qty which I've used, but you can always adjust it to suit your taste. M ay be you can try reducing the qty of whole masala and see... Hope it comes out well next time. Cheers M aria

Hi M aria, This is Beth again! I tried your beef fry last week and that come out great, and a couple of days back I made kadala curry. To tell you the truth, I was very nervous to make this dish, b'coz this is my very first experimentation with kadala. I read through the recepie and seeing how clearly you have explained encouraged me to try it out. For a first time trial, I can say it came out good! M y mom was very surprised to hear me all excited about going to make kadala curry. When... show more

Hi Beth, Its a pleasure to know that you find this site helpful. Thanks for trying the recipes & I'm glad that it came out well :) I was also like you before marriage, being fussy about certain food. But I guess that changes once you are on your own ;) Take care & Happy cooking! Cheers M aria

I had to laugh when I saw this. I'm pretty new to Indian cooking and recently made a yummy kalachanna recipe. I'd been eating the leftovers for breakfast because it was just perfect. I see I'm in good company!

Hi Kristin, Its nice to know that you liked the channa curry. I do hope you find the Indian recipes here interesting! Please do try them out when time permits. Happy cooking! Cheers M aria

M aria, There is a whole lot of awesome receipies here. In this a variation can be brought by adding some coconut milk and a small tomato(chopped) while sauting onions(after onions are done). regards, Aagal

Tried the kadala curry today for breakfast and it was a hit. Thanks for posting it. I was always on the lookout for a kadala curry that had a thicker gravy. Looking forward to trying more of your recipes.
