We begin making the Karnatak Style Kadle Kaalu Saru Recipe (Black Chickpea Curry) by soaking the black chickpeas in water for about 8 hours.

Next is to roast the ingredients, for that heat a pan, add oil, curry leaves and sauté the onions and garlic. Finally add the coconut. Sauté till it is light brown.

Once done, let it cool down and then grind it along with tomatoes into a smooth paste using a blender and keep it aside.

Once the chickpeas is soaked, it is then pressure cooked in the same water in a pressure cooker for about half an hour. Release the pressure naturally.

Place the cooker again on the heat, into the chickpeas add the ground mixture and then all the masala powders, season it well and let it boil for 15 minutes.

Temper the ingredients, by crackling the mustard seeds, cumin seeds, curry leaves and sauté the onions, once done add the tempering on to the curry and mix.

Serve the Karnataka Style Kadle Kaalu Saru Recipe (Black Chickpea Curry) with hot Phulka or just relish it with some steamed rice.
