Kugan's Kitchen Part 5

kuganka,unga version kadalai curry recipeum podunga plz.

actually today for dinner am planning to make ur channa and potato curry(without onions and garlic),i thought since it has channa in it,i can make some fresh puttu and have it along with this channa,thinking it as kadalai curry.
Intha channa curryum puttuku nalla irukumnu ninaikaren.will tell u the feedback tomorrow.

kadalai curry:
-------------

black kadalai - 1 cup soaked and pressure cook 4 to 5 whistles.
then add salt 1 tsp and boil for 5 mins.

in a kadai, add 2 tsp of oil, add 2 big onion finely chopped, curry leaves few , fry nicely for 3 mins.

then add 1 1/2 tsp ginger-garlic paste coarsely ground and fry for a while.

then add 1 big size tomato finely chopped and fry for 3 minutes, till the tomato mashes nicely.

now add 1/2 tsp chilli powder, 1 tsp dhania powder, 1/4 tsp of turmeric powder and fry till raw smell goes out of it.

now add 1 to 1 1/2 tsp of mutton masala powder ( i use aachi mutton masala) otherwise curry powder , fry till nice aroma comes out of it. sprinkle little water if the curry comes very dry.

then add little pudhina, coriander leaves chopped.

then add cooked black channa with water cover and cook for sometime.

(optional: we can even add soya chunk or soya granules in this stage).

now grind, 1/4 tsp of fennel seeds, 2 tblsp of cooked black channa, 2 tblsp of coconut grated, one medium size onion and grind it to a fine paste.

now add this paste to the curry, check for salt allow it cook for 5 mins.

this goes well with chappathi, puri, putti. some people likes with kerala parotta.

this is a favourite dish in our house. i tasted this curry in saravana bhavan. they served for parotta and puttu.
immediately i came and tried in our house. we all enjoyed this dish.

aarthi u try and let me know.

i am leaving tomorrow evening from here. so i will away from the thread for atleast 10 days.

May be 20th of this month i will join u friends (hopefully, i will get to access the thread by 20th).

till then kugan thread friends take care.

please dont forget me.

i will miss u gals.

bye take care.

Hi selvika , jus logged in to have a look at our sweet thread
Kadalai curry is so impressive , loved it ..My roomie is a keralite and she prepares it exactly like you do , except for the fact that she adds curry powder or chicken masala powder instead of the mutton masala and she skips the grinding part
She does mash the boiled chana to add to the consistency of the gravy

How are all of you otherwise? warms regards to all of you

thanks nithishri. u try this , u will like it.

Aarthii, thank you very much for your post.
I think Selviem's kadala curry recipe looks great.
Try it out.
I too will cook and post the picture.


Aarthii, most of the kadala curry is done this way only.
Most of the ingredients are almost the same.
Anyway if you want, I will post one later.
Thanks, Kugan98

Selviem, thank you very much for the kadala curry recipe.
You are simply great, even at the last hour, when you busy with your holiday plans, you still find time to fulfill Aarthii's request.

Thanks again Selviem, I will try out your kadala curry recipe and post the picture.

I will also try out the vadai that you have mentioned.
Take care, enjoy your stay.
God bless your family, Kuhan98.
Good bye Selviem :wave: :wave:
