Black Chick Peas/ Senaga Kudumulu

This is a traditional snack which is prepared in Andhra. This is all time favorite of mine and I frequently make it as evening tiffin or for breakfast during weekends. 

This is prepared by using rice flour, jaggery, black chick peas, and fresh coconut and flavored by cardamom powder which is cooked on Steam. These Kudumulu are different to those that we prepare at the time of Vinayaka Chavati festival.

This recipe is simple, preparation takes time but these taste very delicious and yummy.

Rice flour – 2 cups

Jaggery grated – ½ cup

Black Chick Peas/ Kala Channa/ Senagalu – ½ cup
