Parangikai Kara Kondakadalai Puli Kuzhambu Recipe | Pumpkin Black Chickpeas Kulambu

Parangikai Kara Kondakadalai Puli Kuzhambu or Pumpkin black chickpeas kulambu or curry is delicious kuzhambu recipe with sweetness of pumpkin, chickpeas crunchiness and tangy it's a real treat for kuzhambu lovers. I made this kuzhambu couple of weeks black while I was trying to clear my pantry and fridge before the India trip and with a large pumpkin sitting in my fridge I tried various different recipe instead of usual pumpkin dry curry or pumkin taro curry.

Even if you not a big kuzhambu fan there are high chance you will like this one as the taste is unique and delicious, DH whom doesn't like anything with tamarind also eat this kuzhambu twice that day happily. I have used black chickpeas which I set aside a little while making Kala Chana Masala the previous day, you can do the same too, you can keep aside little of any beans while you boil to make this, just store in a box and refridgete it, it will say good for minimum of 2 days.



You can use white chickpeas, lobia, butter beans etc too for this kulambu instead of using black chickpeas or replace chickpeas with potato or any other vegetable of your choice too. Serve with rice, some papad or fryums and you have great comfort yet delicious lunch.  Other pumpkin recipes you can check pumpkin soup, mathanga vanpayar erissery (pumpkin lobia curry), pumpkin curry, mixed vegetables dal.
