Chick peas masala curry

I can assure you that if one person has made up his or her mind on a special diet then thats it. I have one at office stubborn not to eat lunch . I was wondering she is so pretty with her sweet plum face but once this chuby liitle angel looses her chubby cute face she is not going to look  that pretty much . .. i dont  want to be mean or something . But why do young girls go for a death like diet . I told her there are few simple healthy diets . Do try it out. But she  wanted the fastest track possible. I dont blame her . I too did it once. There was a time when it was impossible me to lose weight. So i did the crash diet . And then started working  from there . Yes , i know its very unhealthy but still i went ahead . But later again whatever diet i did never worked for me . And this ti.e it was after having three kids. How am i supposed to cook for blog and do the diet at the same time . One thing i did do was start to eat healthy and eat it right theory. Cut sugar intake and avoid fries at maximum. I already started showing signs of thinner body. Then i skipped yeast and plain flour.. it took me two years. And now i am fit and healthy..Alhamdullillah. and my second brother is doing well with keto diet. I must say it was wonderful seeing such happiness when one has lost a lot weight. 

So much for weight loss  and diets..off to the recipe.
I was getting bored of the usualhimemade kadala curry and so today i made a slight variation . I got the recipe when i went for a function . I went direct to the cook himself  for the recipe and he delivery a good dialogie about how famous his curry was all around the neighborhood..but i felt it was good but  ok..he did boast a little though...
