Kadala curry recipe, Kerala kadala curry

Kadala curry is an appetizing Keralite dish that is served with puttu for breakfast. The original gravy is made with coconut but I usually make this curry without using coconut as I like it that way. I replaced coconut by grinding some black Channa into paste and add  it to the curry to thicken it so it does not loose its consistency. So lets get to the recipe.
