HOW TO MAKE KONDAKADALAI PIRATTAL?

Kondakadalai Pirattal- A spicy garbanzo bean stir fry made with a Chettinad style spice mix.

I usually spend a huge chunk of my time reading through my cookbooks. I dont make everything in a cook book. But there are some simple recipe booklets on my bookshelf that call out to me every time i pass through. One such book is this small treasure trove of recipes titled “Dhinapadi Samayal” by Menu Rani Chellam. Almost all her recipes are easy to make and call for simple ingredients that one almost always has at home. This pirattal is adapted from her book and i must say, it made a delicious lunch along with cucumber gojju and hot rice.

I had some garbanzo left after i tossed the cucumber chickpea salad. I dint want to make anything usual with it and so kept thinking of something. I almost made falafels when i spotted this pirattal recipe in the book. The original recipe calls for plantains too but as i couldnt find them, i just added garbanzo. Makes a fabulously spicy side.
