Black Channa Kurma

Black channa kurma is my all time favourite with chapathi/ roti. Black channa is rich in protein and fiber. This is really good for diabetics. This kurma is a easy version. It is made of basic coconut masala.



This recipe needs a little planning as you have to soak black channa overnight that is 8 - 10 hrs. Yesterday i did this kurma and i could not wait to post it.

Coconut - 1/2 cup
Chilly powder - 2 tsp

4) To grind, take coconut, chili powder, cumin, coriander, ginger, garlic, cashew and soaked kasa kasa in a blender and grind it to a fine paste.
