Ingredients
- 1/2 cup black eyed peas
- 1 medium onion chopped finely
- 1 big tomato chopped
- 3 cloves garlic with skin - washed & dried
- 1/4 tsp mustard seeds
- 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tsp chilli pwd or to taste or you can use bafat powder & skip the turmeric
- Salt to taste
- 1 tbsp chopped coriander leaves for garnishing
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Soak the black eyed peas for at least 4-5 hours & pressure cook them with a little salt & water (upto the level of the peas) for about 3-4 whistles (or until soft - not mushy)
- In a wok or kadai heat some oil and add the mustard seeds. When they begin to splutter toss in the garlic smashed a bit with a pestle. Fry a little but dont brown them
- Add the onions and fry till pale & then toss in the chopped tomatoes. Add a pinch of salt at this point so that the tomatoes get mushy quickly. Dont add too much salt as you have already added some while pressure cooking the peas.
- Add the chillie powder & turmeric or the bafat powder & fry till oil leaves the sides
- Add the black eyed peas along with the liquid (stock) and simmer until almost all the water is absorbed. You can leave it in a semi gravy form if you wish to eat it with rice
- Garnish with coriander leaves, turn off the flame & serve hot with panpole (neer dosa), rice or chapathis
