Kerala Kadala Curry/ Black Chana Curry

I am surprised that me being a climate person, how come I never wrote about it for quite some time now? 🙂 March and April are the best time to be in the UAE, as the climate gets stable with bouts of lovely breeze, plenty of sunshine and clear blue skies. However, this month it has been quite topsy-turvy. Last week, we had a couple of hard sandstorms, which was then followed by a surprise hail storm and heavy rain, which lasted a total of 15 minutes, but managed to create a havoc on the roads! As of now, the mornings and nights are cool while the rest of the day is pretty warm, thereby being an excellent breeding situation for flus and infection. There is hardly anybody who has not been touched by some or the other illness. Expecting things to get better before the summer is going to hit in full force…

There will be no Malayalee who hasn’t had kadala Curry to go with their puttu. In fact, it is one of best combination, just like how the cherupayar curry goes with it. I love to soak my puttu so much in it that I literally have a wet mass in my plate! With minimum effort, and thanks to the pressure cooker, making the curry is also a breeze. Off to the way that I love to make it…
