Kadala / Brown chickpeas curry is very common in Indian Cuisine. We normally make curries or just boil and make into Chaat.
In this recepie, I have made a semi gravy like a roast which can be served as side dish for rice, chapatis, breads, Dosa, appam etc etc. In short it goes well with everything.
In this recepie I have used coconut sliced, dry coconut threads and cooked in coconut oil which gives the recepie a rich flavour.
