About Red cowpea curry

Bursting with bold flavors and wholesome goodness, Red Cowpea Curry is a nutritious and satisfying dish rooted in South Asian and African cuisines. This hearty curry features red cowpeas, also known as red lobia, slow-cooked in a fragrant blend of onions, tomatoes, garlic, and warming spices like turmeric, cumin, and coriander. A touch of coconut milk or tamarind may be added for richness and tang, depending on regional variations. Rich in plant-based protein, fiber, and essential minerals such as iron and potassium, red cowpeas support digestion, energy levels, and overall heart health. This curry is naturally low in fat and can be made vegan or vegetarian-friendly. Pair it with rice, flatbread, or even as a standalone stew to enjoy its earthy and comforting flavors. However, watch portion sizes if incorporating coconut milk, as it can increase calorie content.
