Chanadal Coconut Curry/ Pappula kura

         
                     Chanadal Coconut Curry is very famous dish in one part (Guntur) of Andhra. My mom often prepares this curry. She prepares in two versions. One is with coconut and the other with Ginger Garlic. I like both versions. Soon I will post Ginger garlic version as well. This curry is good with both Chapathi and rice. Here is the recipe.
