Ingredients

• 1 cup Black-eyed peas (chauli)
• 2 tablespoons Oil (vegetable or coconut)
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
• 1 large Tomato, finely chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 2 cups Water
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro (coriander leaves), chopped

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the black-eyed peas thoroughly under cold water and soak them in water for 4-6 hours or overnight. Drain before cooking.

Step 2

Heat oil in a pressure cooker on medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them splutter for a few seconds.

Step 3

Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until it turns golden brown, about 4-5 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and ginger. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the chopped tomato and cook until it softens and blends into the onion mixture, about 3 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and garam masala. Cook the spices for 1-2 minutes to release their aromas.

Step 7

Add the soaked and drained black-eyed peas to the pressure cooker. Mix well so the peas are coated with the spice mixture.

Step 8

Pour in the water and add salt. Stir to combine.

Step 9

Secure the lid of the pressure cooker and cook on medium heat for 3-4 whistles (or about 12-15 minutes, depending on your cooker).

Step 10

Allow the pressure to release naturally before opening the lid. Stir and check if the black-eyed peas are soft and tender. If needed, simmer for a few more minutes to adjust the consistency.

Step 11

Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve hot with steamed rice or flatbreads.
