This is a very easy recipe for Kerala style Kadala Curry. We love puttu at home. I do not have my puttu kutty for making puttu here in Hong Kong. But I make kadala curry often and I serve it with idli, chapati or even dosa. It goes perfectly well. Here is how to make Kerala style kadala curry. This is how we make at home. Here is how to do kadala curry.

Soak the black chana / kala chana over night in water. If you are in a hurry, at least try to soak it for a minimum of 4-6 hours.

Now, we shall do some prep work for making Kerala kadala curry Recipe. We will make a paste for the kadala curry. Grind the tomatoes, garlic, ginger, cloves, fennel seeds and cardamom to a smooth paste. No need to add any water while grinding. Set aside.

Take a pressure cooker (I used a 3 liter pressure cooker) and add in the sliced onions, the ground masala, soaked and drained chana, salt, red chilli powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder and a cup (250 ml) of water. Cover and cook for 30 minutes on a low flame. After the 30 minutes, remove from heat and wait for the pressure to settle naturally. Set aside.
Note: Many people have asked me if the onions and the spices will be raw. The answer is a definite NO. Since we are cooking for 30 minutes, the onions would be nicely cooked and so will be the spices.

Take a pan and saute the fresh shredded coconut in a teaspoon of oil on a low flame for 5 minutes until slightly golden.

    Hi Suguna. Totally love all your recipes! Kadalai curry is one of our favorites!
    I have a question.. If I double the recipe, how long should I cook the channa for? 1 hour or same 30 minutes?
    Thank you!

      Timing will remain the same. 30 minutes will be enough in a pressure cooker. Just use appropriate / big vessel.

    Couple of questions if I may! Can I substitute the black chickpeas with normal ones? Can I possibly use desiccated coconut instead of the fresh one?

    Cheers

    I looked up this recipe and my partner made the curry. It turned out great. Our guest couple also enjoyed it. We had it with ragi puttu. We stored some leftover curry in the refrigerator and had it with phulkas for lunch on the following day. Roasting the fresh grated coconut, blending and adding to the curry gives it a really nice taste.

    Recipe sounds good and i will definitely try it, tho’ I’m not sure about so much tomato in it.I just wanted to share that in the early years of my marriage I did not have a Puttu kutty either, but my mother in law taught me to make it in a colander. The bottom line is it needs steaming, the shape is not as important. Because we were a big family she used to make it in a large colander and steam it, add more water, steam again twice or thrice to get really soft puttu that she would serve in a bowl with a rice spoon. It come out much softer than puttu in the mould because of the multiple steamings and was delicious. Another aunt taught me that if you want a shape, take half a coconut shell, knock out the hole on the top, fill it with the already steamed puttu and put the shell on the pressure cooker spout. It steamed in a few minutes, and you got a nice half coconut shape when you served it. This was really useful when I was living alone, because I would make puttu and keep in the fridge, and when i needed to heat it up, I would sprinkle a little water, put it in the coconut shell and one or two shells was just perfect for one serving.

    I’m an ardent fan of Kannamma Cooks! So I tried out this recipe! But this one isn’t really the traditional Kerala style puttu kadala, otherwise its a nice curry. I guess we aren’t used to the flavour of so much tomato in the gravy 😞

    Hello, I am a newbie to cooking. I did everything right, except roasting the coconut before grinding. Forgot about that in the hurry. Added that unroasted ground coconut and it didn’t taste bad at all. So, I was wondering what roasting the coconut does to it, that it is a step at all… Any hint?

      Hi Praveen, roasted coconut makes it more nuttier. I sometimes add unroasted coconut too if I am in a hurry. There is a subtle difference in taste when roasted.

    Hi Suguna, I love this kadala curry.. reduces one trip to the restaurant.. it’s just fabulous!
    Just a question: Can I alter the masala and use this same simmer for 30min for rajma too?

    Hi, I don’t have fresh coconut but only frozen shredded coconut. Can I use that instead?

    I tried your soft spongy idilis twice,
    it came out really soft.
    But , noticed while preparing dosa, it was sticking to the tawa..

    I used to use Idily rawa earlier as it was easy to grind in the blender. I am waiting to finish the Idily rawa so that I can switch over to Idily rice.

    Thanks for posting the recipe..

    Tried this yesterday, it became an instant hit! My wife is from Kerala and she began to wonder how I made this tastier than she ever made it! I did a small modification – added 1 potato in the end. It gave an tastier twist to the whole curry. Thank you Suguna!

    Hello Suguna. Can you Please suggest a substitute for coconut. The place where I currently live in US does not sell coconut ?

      You can grind some soaked almonds and add to the curry. But kadala curry needs to have that coconut flavor. So adding canned coconut milk a little also would work.
