Breakfast Korma
My mother-in-law makes some unique dishes which will be very tasty. This is one of that kind. This korma is made from the black chickpea stock. The stickiness from the chickpea stock gives taste to the korma. My mother-in-law said that it will be good with idly. I guess it will be good with chapati too.
Time of Preparation : 45 minutes
Spice level : 4
No of Servings : 3
Ingredients:
- Black Chick pea / Kala Chana – 200g

- Cinnamon stick – 1″
- Cloves – 2
- Sambar powder – 1 tsp
- Coriander powder – 1/2 tsp
- Salt – to taste
- Oil – 1 tbsp
Method of Preparation:
- Soak the black chickpeas in 4 to 5 cups of water over night and boil it.
- Take the water (chickpeas stock) from that and use the boiled chickpeas for some other curry.
- Heat oil in a pan and add bay leaves, cinnamon stick and cloves.
- Then add the green chillies followed by the chopped onions.

Yummy recipe… Perfect for anything…
Nice – definitely need some to soak up all that goodness.
Looks delicious arthi…Will try soon..
Sounds so much like kadala curry without the Kadala.I am sure without the chick peas its a light curry unlike the kadala curry.I am no more going to throw out the water used for cooking Kadala.
This is just like the Kadala Curry we make for Puttu, except for the addition of dalia.Sounds delicious!
Looking forward to your entry for the Veggie/Fruit a Month event.
