Black Eyed Bean Curry


Black eyed bean, also knows as Chowli (North) , Karamani (South) are very high in protein content. There are quite a few dishes one can make from this & here's my first one.
Sending this to Susan, from the " Well seasoned cook" who's hosting the event - MY LEGUME LOVE AFFAIR. Check more details at :
Thanks Susan for hosting a lovely event!

Ingredients:

Black eyed bean - 2 cups
Onion - 3 no
Tomato - 2 no
Ginger-garlic paste - 1tsp
Chili powder - 1 tsp
Channa Masala - 1 tsp
Cilantro - finely chopped
Garam Masala - 1/4 tsp
Salt - to taste
Oil - 1 tbsp

Method:

1. Soak the bean overnight & pressure cook. Be careful not to over cook these.

2. In a pan add oil & finely chopped 2 onions. Grind the other onion into a fine paste.

3. Once slightly done, add Ginger-garlic paste & saute few minutes. Now add the onion paste & fry till the raw smell goes off.

4. Then add chili powder, Channa masala & tomato finely chopped or as puree. Mix all well & bring to a boil.

5. Then add the cooked bean & salt & add little water & bring to a good boil. Add little garam masala & cilantro.

Your curry is ready & this goes well with rotis. Serve a raita as an accompaniment & your all set!

I have typically made dry version with this and my kids eat it as a snack. But this will be a good try as my son has begun to like anything that has onion and garlic - and he is 3 years old! Thanks for sharing.
