Black eyed peas is something which I wanted to try for longtime whenever I peeked into the frozen section of veggies. Since we believe in freshly cut fruits or vegetables, I would always ignore & pass by them. This time forced myself to pick a pack and dumped in freezer not knowing what to do.
I make chapatis on regular basis but side dish is the most painful part . I anyways decided to try black eyed peas with Chapati which did turn out good.
I am going to try few more things out of this peas and post them if they turn out well :-)
This is a very easy and simple side dish which could be served along chapatis/rotti/rice.
Serves 3-4 people.
Ingredients :
Black eyed peas - 3 cups ( or as much as you can have)
Oil - 2tsp
Mustard - 1 tsp
Jeera/Cumin seeds - 1/2 spn
Uddina bele/Uradh daal - 1/2 spn
Hing - A pinch
Curry leaves
Red chilly flakes - 1/2 spn
Coriander/Dhaniya powder - 3/4th spn
Red chilly powder - 1/2 spn or acc to taste
Garam masala - 1/2 spn
Coriander
Water to boil
Salt to taste
Method :
- Heat oil in a pan and add mustard, jeera , uradh daal, curry leaves, chilly flakes, hing.
- Once the seasoning is ready, add black eyed peas, mix well, add water, ( water level is half inch above the peas ) cover the lid and boil on medium till the peas to an extent where it can be mashed well(do not mash though).
-Now remove the lid and let the extra water evaporate while on stove.
- Once it gets rid of the water, add all the masalas & salt mix well.
- Add lots of coriander than usual to garnish.
Serve hot.
