Black Chana Curry (Kerala Kadala Curry) - Oil- Free!

9 hours
1 hour
2 servings
This is the recipe I learned from my mother-in-law. She was and a great cook and mostly preferred only satwik foods. One or two dishes were exceptions. Like this recipe which uses onions. Rice puttu and Kadala curry is a popular combination in traditional Kerala breakfast fare.
Ingredients
- Black chana: ½ cup
- Onions: 1 cup (chopped)
- Fresh coconut: ½ cup(grated)
- Whole pepper: 1 tsp
- Dried red chili: 2-3
- Coriander seeds: 1tbsp
- Mustard seeds: ½ tsp
- Curry leaves: 2 sprigs
- Rock salt: to taste
- Cold-pressed coconut oil: 1 tbsp (optional)
Method
- Soak black chana in enough water for at least 8 hours.
- Cook with salt until soft. Do not discard extra water if any.
- Dry roast pepper, red chili, coriander leaves, and a few curry leaves.
- In a pan saute chopped onions until browned.
- Powder the dry roasted ingredients in a mixie.
- Leave behind a tablespoon of sautéed onions and add the rest of the sautéed onions to the powdered spices, along with grated coconut and 2 tbsp of cooked chana and blend into a smooth paste with water. You can use water from the boiled chana to make this paste.
- To the pan of sautéed onions add the ground paste and cook for a while, stirring constantly.
- Add boiled chana and salt and simmer it all together for a few minutes.
- Make a tempering of mustard seeds and curry leaves by dry roasting.
- Add cold-pressed coconut oil after turning off the flame, if using.
Wellcure tip:
- You can completely replace red chili with pepper for spice if you prefer a peppery flavor.
Eating guide:
- Food group: legumes and nuts
- Great combination to get the right amount of proteins fats and fiber.
- It can be served with rice, millets or bread.
