Matta Rice is very famous around Kerala and has a different taste from the normal rice. Matta rice and Chickpeas curry is an excellent combination apart from the fish curry and few others... Cooking the Matta rice is simple and similar to cooking the normal rice. Chickpea is rich in protein and good for eating tooo... i have been to Kerala few time and every time I visit is try new food there starting from the Matta rice to sea food that i can lay my hands on. I like the Exotic taste of the Coconut Oil in their recipes which makes it different from others...
Ingredients:
1 Cup of Matta Rice.
1 Cup Chickpea.
2 Medium Size Onions.
1 Medium size Tomato [Optional].
1 Cup grated Coconut.
1 Tablespoon of Oil.
1/2 Tablespoon of Red Chilli Powder.
1/2 Tablespoon of Coriander Powder.
Preparation Method:
Step 1: Making the Rice. This is simple boil about 3 cups of water and add the rice. in 15 20 mins the rice will be ready, drain the water and transfer the rice to separate bowl.
Step 2: Chickpeas Curry.
Chock chickpeas for about 3 - 4 hours.
Step 3: In a pan add 1 tablespoon of oil and spices. once you get the aroma of the spices add fine chopped onions.
Step 4: Once the onions are translucent add chopped tomato, chilli powder and coriander powder. Cook the masala till the tomato is cooked then add the chickpeas with water enough to cook the chickpeas. Add salt once the water starts to boil.
Step 5: Cook the curry covered in low heat, it take about 20 - 30 mins for the chickpeas to cook. Tip to check if the chickpeas is cooked - when you try to squeeze one chickpea it should be soft. Add the grated coconut and cook for about one minute and turn off the heat.
Chickpeas curry is ready to serve. You can add potato for additional taste, i add it all the time. This curry is good with rice, chapathi, poori and puttu. Same method is used to make the channa masala. The oil can be sunflower oil or coconut oil each have their unique taste.
