Kadala mezhukkupuratti recipe a Kerala style simple stir fry using brown chana.Kadala mezhukkupuratti recipe

Kadala mezhukkupuratti recipe with step by step pictures and video.A easy and quick Kerala style stir fry using brown chana.

I am trying this for the first time and loved it so much.The flavor of coconut oil along with spices and spice powders tastes so good.

Making in claypot:

  • I made this with my new claypot, Have you realised the taste enhances with dishes made in claypot? I have few claypots already and this burnt claypot came for review.
  • You can check out how to season claypots here.

I love Kerala dishes mainly for the coconut oil flavour and with a add on, this has coconut pieces which gives a nice crunch to the curry while eating.Do try this and enjoy!

Variations:

Mezhukupuratti is a staple in Kerala as sidedish and can be made with many veggies like carrot,beans,raw banana etc.
