A hearty and earthy mixture of elephant yam and black garbanzo with roasted coconut makes up for this Kadala Koottu Curry that is an integral ingredient of Kerala Sadya.

Kadala Koottu Curry

It is amazing how in spite of having lived in Kerala for most of my life, I did not know about this curry called Kadala Koottu Curry or for that matter any form of koottu curry that is served for sadyas, until very recently.

My husbands family is from a different part of Kerala – Palakkad and live in Kochi right now. When they visited us last month, my mother-in-law and I got to talking about food and she told me about this Kadala Koottu Curry that she has had at weddings in Kochi. Naturally, I got curious and wanted to make it. She told me the recipe and I made it one day for lunch. Even though it looks kinda fancy, it was actually a pretty easy curry to make!

And I also learnt that in Palakkad there is a different version of Koottu Curry that is made with Kadala Parippu or Chana Dal. That is now on my list to learn from her.
