English: Mangalorean Kadle (black chickpea)Recipe is a divine combination of black chickpeas that is tossed with lots of coconut,garlic and homemade spice blend.The above picture is taken in my home kitchen where I prepared the same to have with boiled rice . The amazing flavour and taste of the Kadle comes from from two main things which is the roasting of the coconut with onions till it becomes golden brown and the homemade masala blend.Then a seasoning of mustard seeds,curry leaves and crushed garlic is fried in coconut nut and added to the sukka which gives it a delicious aromatic flavour.This dish is rich in fiber and provides 13 grams of dietary fiber. Kadale Ajadina is ahigh-fiber diet lowers your cholesterol levels and helps prevent constipation. This dish also helps regulate blood sugar levels in people suffering from diabetes.
