Lobia (Black-eyed Peas in Ginger and Tamarind Sauce) |
Ingredients (use vegan versions):
- 1 cup dried black-eyed peas
- 2 teaspoon grated ginger root
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon tumeric
- 1-2 green chilis, chopped
- 1 tablespoon tamarind pulp
- 2/3 cup sliced onion
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 4-5 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon garam masala
- 2-3 tablespoon cilantro leaves
Directions:
Rinse and soak beans for a couple of hours in at least 3 1/2 cups of
water in a medium saucepan. Bring beans to a boil over medium heat,
add half the ginger, the chili powder, and the tumeric. Reduce heat,
cover the pan and cook slowly for 45-50 minutes Add remaining ginger,
chilis, tamarind pulp, mix it well and let it simmer for
another 10-15 minutes. Meanwhile, SLOWLY dryfry onion to gradually
carmelize it, as it begins to color add cumin seeds and garlic (add a
little H2O to prevent burning if necessary). Remove pan from heat
just as garlic darkens. Pour mixture into beans, together with Garam
masala, stir and cook another 5 minutes. Before serving, stir in
