This is a healthy and creamy delicious curry prepared in a cooker or insta pot. It is vegan and is perfect to enjoy with steaming rice or flat breads.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup black eyed peas or (canned black eyed peas)
- 1/2 cup chopped potato
- 1 roma tomato
- 1 cup coriander leaves
- 1 inch ginger
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut
- 4 cloves
- 6-8 black pepper
- 2 green chillis
- 1 tsp dry mango powder
- 1 tsp garam masala
- salt
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 1 tbsp oil
Preperation:
1. Soak black eyed peas overnight (or 1-2 hrs) and drain and rinse . I prefer soaking them overnight as they cook faster. Put the peas, potato, and salt in a pressure cooker along with salt and water. Give one whistle.
2. I like the smell of fresh coriander, so I added 1 cup of leaves and 1 tomato. Two tomatoes and 2-3 tbsp of chopped leaves can be added instead. Blend ginger,tomatoes,cumin,coconut, cloves, black pepper,coriander leaves, green chiilis along with 2-3 tbsp of cooked black eyed peas water(this helps gravy thicken). You can dilute the paste by adding more water once ithe paste is smooth
3. take a deep bottom pan, heat oil and add the paste, turmeric powder, garlic powder and saute for a minute. Now add boiled peas and poatoes and let the gravy boil for a minute. Add salt and mix well.
4. serve hot with roti or rice.
