This kadala curry for chapathi recipe without coconut or easy chickpea curry for chapathi recipe is simple to follow and you can easily make this and enjoy it with chapathi, poori, dosa, idli, appam, idiyappam or even with rice.

I used white chickpeas or vella kadala to make this kadala curry but you may use black channa or black kadala as well just cook a little more time if you want it soft.

This chickpea curry is vegan/vegetarian side dish with gravy which is yummy and easy to make.

I have more chickpea recipes in my blog like this easy one pot chickpea curry, best chana masala recipe, Kerala style kadala curry with roasted coconut and more recipes.

Many of the Indian style chickpea curry recipes require grinding of spices or tomatoes or coconut, however in this recipe we are not grinding anything, we are using onions and spices to flavor the yummy and simple chickpea curry.

If you are looking for an easy chickpea curry or an easy kadala curry for chapathi or rice which you can make without grinding, this is one simple recipe you can try easily at home whether you are looking to prepare an easy kadala curry for chapathi or poori for dinner or breakfast or if your are just looking for an easy chickpea curry to go with even rice for lunch.

It is very important to use onions for this recipe as it adds much flavor to this curry and I highly recommend caramelizing the onions or at least browning the onions for best results, if you have time to do that.

Otherwise just sauteing the onions just enough to make them transparent is good enough to go.

Also I used dry chickpeas to make this chickpea curry and so we have to soak the chickpeas at least 6 to 7 hours or overnight for best results.

If you are using canned chickpeas you can skip this step of soaking the chickpeas.

So here is how you can make this easy chickpea curry (kadala curry for chapathi) following this easy chickpea curry for chapathi recipe.
