In Malabar, we have many traditional food like Unda ,Manda.kolappam,Ada.Kaaja....etc .My Umma & Ummama [mom& grand mom]are very expert in cooking of those traditional food. Unfortunately I don't know how to make all these items. I never tried to learn.Usually I get these snacks all the way from my home village made by either Umma or Ummama. Kadalakappam is a crispy snack . In our colloquial language we call it as kallakappam.When I got the above Kadalakappam I decided to post the same on my blog.But the funny thing is ...I really don't know the recipe..Kadala [chickpeas] is included in its name ,so I thought that kadala will be one of main ingredients... :)) When I asked my mom " How much Kadala should we use?". She couldn't stop laughing..ha ha ha ha ha. Because kadala is not an ingredient .!!!!!
