Punjabi style chickpea curry made with basic spices is named so because of the texture and consistency and colour of the gravy which resemble thick and sticky murky waters. Chikkad is synonymous with kichad (muck) and perhaps that is why it also tastes best when turned into a semi mushy consistency and served with roti, naan or bature.
