 Black chickpeas, 1-1/2 cup (soaked overnight or for 8 hours).
1 medium sized Onion, (chopped)

Salt as per taste.
2 Dried red chilies (optional)
 1 tsp Ginger-garlic paste,
1/2 cup coconut milk
1 tbsp oil

PREPARATION (kadalai curry):
Cook the soaked chickpeas with some salt  and keep aside. I used a pressure cooker for up to 3 whistles to cook the chickpeas. Dice the onion finely. heat oil in a pan. . Once the oil is hot, break the dried red chiles, and curry leaves into it and fry for a few seconds. Add the diced onions, ginger garlic paste and sauté for a few minutes until the onions turn translucent. Now add all the dry spice, salt and mix well.. Add the boiled black chickpea with a little amount of  broth (broth here refers to the water used for boiling the chickpea) . Let them come to boil and  add  the coconut milk to this.. Let it cook for 10-15 minutes until the desired thickness is reached. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve hot with rice, chappathis, idlis, dosas, or appams.

Assembling of taco:

Heat the taco shell as directed in the box .Place the taco shell in an oven proof tray and  I had to heat my taco shell for about 45 seconds on high in a microwave till warm..Heat the kadalai curry as well on the stove till most of the moisture evapourates….

First take a taco squeeze small amount of ketchup in it and the fill them with the prepared kadalai curry.. Then top them with the prepare Pineapple salsa and then some shredded cabbage . Season them by sprinkling a pinch or two of taco seasoning mix. squeeze some more ketchup on top . If want   you can even top them with some cheese… Garnish them with mint leaves….
