well, I’ve just made this recipe but without chickpea ( hubby is not a great fan). We haven’t eat it yet but it smells really good and by tasting while cooking, it sounds yummy so… thank you for this recipe!

Hi Indira,
I came across this site just recently and since then have been glued to it.I like all your recipes.I just have a single question.Where in USA do you get the sesame seeds the way we get in andhra??Whenever i tried making chutney using the seeds from the indian grocery stores here,it somehow tastes bitter.Could you please help me out with this??

Priya: I am glad to hear that you tried and liked those two recipes. I have yet try the nimona with mangodies.:)
Thanks.

Stephanie: Our house is not that far from I-80 exit. Oh… we really missed an opportunity to meet. Next time, for sure. Vijay and I, we both like to meet you guys!

Thanks Madhuli, Sowjanya and Krithika. If you try, let me know how you like this recipe. thanks.

LG : I added the kala chana at the beginning of the curry and also I have soaked them overnight in water. The total cooking time for this curry is about 20 to 25 minutes, sufficient time for kala chana to cook tender. I normally don’t pressure or precook kala chana/chana/dried peas and usually directly add them to the curries. They cook perfectly tender. Give it a try, LG.

Thanks RP.

Indira,
Dont you have to cook the kala chana before adding it to the gourd,since gourd cooks so fast?

I was thinking about you Tuesday; we were on our way back to Tennessee by way of I-80, to Youngstown where we got on 79. I said to Matt, ‘if we’d planned ahead of time, we could have stopped in for a visit with Indira!’.

Oh, well…maybe another time?!!
