Kadala Curry

Details and Ingredients

Kadala Curry is a quintessential Kerala dish, featuring black chickpeas (kala chana) cooked in a robust, spiced coconut gravy. The chickpeas are simmered with roasted coconut, shallots, garlic, and green chilies, blended with turmeric, coriander, and a touch of garam masala. A tempering of mustard seeds, curry leaves, and dried red chilies in coconut oil adds depth and aroma to this hearty curry.

Served hot and garnished with fresh cilantro, Kadala Curry is a perfect companion to appam, puttu, or steamed rice. This vegetarian delight captures the essence of Kerala’s coastal flavors and rustic traditions.
