This is a very simple gravy that cannot be avoided while having puttu.This should be slightly watery unlike a normal gravy .This recipe serves two.
Ingredients:
=========
- Kala Chana(small ones) - 200 grams
- Salt to taste
- Coconut oil - 1 tablespoon
To grind:
=======
- Small /Madras onions - 10
- Coriander seeds/dhania - 3 tablespoon
- Red chillies - 3
- Pepper corns - 10
- Curry leaves - a sprig
- coconut shredded - 3 tablespoon
Method:
======
- Soak the chana in water overnight and pressure cook it.
- Grind all the ingredients with little water into a fine paste.
- Add the chana with its stock,ground paste and salt in a hard bottomed vessel and allow it to boil.
- When the raw smell goes off,switch off and add coconut oil on top.
Serve with puttu.
When u pressure chana, u can put some finely chopped ginger and garlic and one sliced tomato too.It will give a different taste.

ReplyDelete.For viewers:Those who like the flavour of garlic can do that.And also once the gravy is done,chop an onion lengthwise and saute in a tablespoon of coconut oil and garnish the dish.It will taste yummy.These are all variations of the recipe.
