Hi Indira!

This recipe is wonderful. I never knew chikkudukaya could be made with gravy. It was a big hit with my family. Thank you very much.

Hi indira garu… i have tried many of ur recipies. urs guttiyankaya is a hit at my home. we hardly eat chikkudu… but at this time want to try this way.. but have a doubt.. the way u did it in guttivankaya in pressure cooker… will it work for the same for this also… pls reply..

many many thanx for ur recipies.

You could use a pressure cooker, but chikkudu will get cooked to very soft, become mushy, and the end result won’t taste that good. It’s better to cook chikkudu in a pan like mentioned in the recipe.

Indira,

I am fan to your site, and have just tried this recipe. Came out good. Have a question, coconut+ Khus khus paste is good , but for which curries like what vegetable are suitable for this gravy? pls respond to my email, when you get chance.

Regards,
Janu

Indira,

Hope this finds you well. I just wanted to leave a note saying I tried this recipe last night — it is so delicious. I made it with fresh fava beans in-the-pod I found at the middle-eastern grocery. Since I lacked the patience and materials to blend the original spice-paste (which would have given the dish excellent texture) I mixed peanut butter, tomato paste, tamarind paste, clove and cinnamon powder and poured it onto the frying bean-onion mixture and pressure cooked it to 3 whistles. Nice comforting saucy dish — Thanks for a fantastic recipe

Dear AA,
I am happy to read that you had good experience with this recipe. I have yet to try with fava beans, now I can, thanks to your feedback.
Belated Thanksgiving Day greetings! Hope you had a lovely weekend.
- Indira

Hi Indira,

Just tried your chikkudikaya kura for dinner. It was great. My husband used never appreciated the way I made chikkudikya before, but today he was very happy and satisfied with this recipe. Thanks for sharing it.

You know what these days, I make any new dish, my husband’s first question is :- Is this Indira’s recipe? You are part of our family. Every now and then I keep telling Indira asked me to do this or that

Keep up the good work of maintaining such a wonderful website.

Regards,
Aparna.
