Chickpea Guggullu ~ Black and White

Black Chickpea Guggullu
Black Chickpea (Kala Chana, Sanaga) Guggullu with Tomatoes and Fresh Coconut

Temple prasadam, beach fare and yogi diet – guggullu (sundal) is a comforting, quick snack item and quite easy to prepare at home also.

Soak the chickpeas overnight in water; cook them until tender and prepare ‘guggullu’ by quickly sauteeing them in few drops of oil, with lot of curry leaves, finely chopped red and green chillies. Sprinkle turmeric and salt to taste. Fresh coconut gratings, sometimes finely chopped tomatoes, onions and green mango are also added just before serving.

    Indira – have you seen this? My desi store’s prices still don’t seem all that bad but I guess I need to stock up on desi lentils…

  11. Hi Indira, I made your lime pickle and it turned out great except for a few problems. The pickle generated white fumes while sitting in juices…is that normal? Here is the link to read about it in detail:

  14. Dear Indira,
    I come back to your page after a week and there is enough matter to keep me reading for a whole hour! I really admire the spirit and dedication with which you write and the pictures are God-awesome!!! I actually want to take a tip from you, probably will mail you on that-

    The guest post on Iceland made a terrific read, especially because we don’t get to hear much about offbeat tourist places.

    Love
    Nandita

  16. Hi Indira,

    As always wonderful Pictures! I love the guggullu they serve in the temples for Prasadam. Temple food is so delicious!

    And I loved Veena’s post on Iceland! What beautiful pictures. I showed my husband the post and he was all praises for your blog.
    It was amazing to read all the wonderful facts about Iceland. And I was pleasantly surprised that there are Indian restaurants even in the remotest of places.

    Cheers

  25. Thank you again for a delicious recipe. I have used curry leaves for the first time in this tasty dish. Your site is fast becoming one of my favorites site references and will site your inspirations if you do not mind. The blend of familiar, and not so familiar spices, opens up a whole new world for me. I am very grateful to you and extend abundant praise for your dedication in putting together this site and sharing your kitchen expertise.
