Looking for more ideas to cook black-eyed peas? Don’t miss trying the links below: They are a part of the staple diet of India so, a meal in India is incomplete without a bean or lentil dish. Today I am sharing the recipe for a bean curry called lobia masala made with black-eyed peas. My husband and I come from two different Himalayan states of India where black-eyed peas are consumed a lot. So we both grew up eating this dish quite frequently and love it.
Step 2: Put the soaked beans, water, and salt in a pressure cooker and cook for 4-5 whistles on a medium flame. Step 3: Put roughly chopped onion, garlic, and ginger in a grinding jar and make a coarse paste. Transfer the paste to a bowl. Step 4: Make another paste of tomatoes and green chilies. Keep it aside too. Step 5: Heat oil in a cooking pot and add whole spices to it. Saute the spices for a few seconds or until they turn fragrant. Step 6: Add onion paste. Cook until the paste turns golden brown. If the paste starts sticking to the pot add a few tablespoons of water and cook further. Step 7: Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and crushed kasoori methi. Step 8: Also, add 1-2 tablespoons of water and saute for a few seconds. Step 9: Add tomato paste and salt. Step 10: Cook until the tomatoes are no longer raw and change the color to a brighter red. Step 11: Add cooked beans along with the water in which the beans were cooked. If required, add additional water to get the desired consistency. Mix everything. Cook covered for 6-7 minutes. Step 12: Add garam masala and chopped cilantro. Mix. Your delicious, comforting Indian black-eyed peas curry is ready to be served! You can also enjoy a bowl of lobia masala as a bean soup. It freezes well too. To freeze just transfer to a freezer-safe airtight container and freeze for 3-4 months. To reheat the frozen curry, first, thaw it then transfer to a cooking pot. Cover the pot and reheat until the curry starts boiling. If required, add some boiling hot water to get the desired consistency. You can also defreeze the curry in the microwave and then reheat it in the microwave for a few minutes. Keep stirring in between until evenly heated.
