Kala Channa Kadhi


 Today I am sharing another yogurt based recipe for the protein rich dishes.My family likes mor kulambhu a lot.So I try varieties of yogurt based curries.

Kadi is a North Indian version of mor kulambhu whereas gram flour and yogurt mixture is used.
Like South Indian version,kadhi has so many versions and popular in many sates.One such version is with kala chann(black chickpeas),quiet popular in Rajasthan.

The recipe sounds so simple but the taste is so amazing with piping hot rice.Tastes better if ghee is used for seasoning but I used the cooking oil.
