Black Kadala Curry is a classic Kerala specialty made from black chickpeas simmered in a richly spiced, flavorful gravy. The dish features a roasted coconut paste combined with spices like coriander, dried red chilies, turmeric, and cumin, along with onions, ginger, garlic, and fresh curry leaves. Gently slow-cooked to enhance its depth of flavour, the curry develops a hearty, earthy taste with a mild heat. Packed with protein and nutrients, it is traditionally enjoyed with Puttu, idiyappam, appam, Dosa, or steamed rice, and is a cornerstone of Kerala cuisine.
