Green Gram coconut curry chapathi sidedish | Pachai Payaru Kuruma

Green Gram coconut milk curry

I really ought to say I miss blogging, writing a post, clicking pictures, it so happens that I have no motivation to blog these days, its been weeks since I post a recipe here. I know many of you wondered and even asked me what happened, I think I am lacking inspiration to blog although cooking inspiration is still alive. I do try to make 3 meals everyday, but I don't plate up and blog. I hope to get back soon and I just though better late than never so I took out my camera and started clicking pictures today. Here is a fresh post and fresh start (hopefully). 

Green gram or pachai payaru is a protein rich food, its also nicknamed the protein food for vegetarians. I usually cook green gram every fortnight as a lunch curry for chapathis. Everyone at home loves this delicious and simple curry and it so had to be blogged about. I also know that green gram is said to lower blood pressure and fill up your tummy. I have earlier shared recipes with green moong - Pacha Payaru Masiyal, Green gram mango salad, Green gram dosa, Chickpeas & green gram salad - . Lets move on to today's recipe. 

Chickpeas Coconut milk Curry | Chapati side dish recipe

Chickpeas Coconut milk Curry

Somedays I am all up and cooking 3-4 dishes in a row, other days I really drag myself to cook a decent meal. But today I was full of energy and made this delicious Coconut milk chickpeas curry, if you know me you know that I love chickpeas and I cannot get enough of them. But on the otherside my husband does not like chickpeas whatsoever but that does not stop me from cooking them. Today I didn't pack lunch for him so I ended up making this curry. That said I love to soak chickpeas overnight and boil them fresh rather than the canned ones. But once in a while not bad to enjoy beans that are tinned. Nevertheless this is one easy curry to make with basic ingredients in your pantry and goes along well with soft hot chappathis and can be paired with pulao or white rice too.
