hi, saw the recipe for black chane.i have been following your blog for a long time but didn’t leave a response as blogging is quite new to me.
well i have to ask you if you know a recipe from your kannada cuisine wherein you make a paste of roasted coriander seeds, red chillies, urad dal etc, they are taken in some definite proportion, small quantities and made in fresh paste and usually used for channa.my kannada friend used to make this when we were in australia, but i just forgot the recipe but not the taste. can you help me with this. shilpa the funniest part was recently i travelled to coastal karnataka and it was as if i am travelling to your part of the world and land eventhough i don’t know you.cheers….swati

Thanks to you all for the feedbacks.

Cynthia, yes, there is a slight difference in flavor. This is also made with normal chick peas. It tastes great. Black chick peas are harder than normal ones.

I know that I can make this with the regular colour chick peas we get here but I would love to have some black or even green chick peas to try it with.

Do you know if the flavours of the chick peas are different depending on their colour? (It might be a silly question I know )
