Black Eyed Peas In Yogurt Curry
From tablespoons 14 years agoIngredients
- 150 g black eyed peas, canned (or use cooked dry black eyed peas. I think 150 g of cooked or canned beans was too few, so i used 150 g of dried peas and then cooked them in the pressure cooker, so it was probably more like 300-400 g (3/4-1 pound) of black eyed peas. You also don't have to pre-cook the beans if you use dry ones, but it was faster that way.) shopping list
- 2 tbsp low-fat yogurt (I used fat-free Greek yogurt) shopping list
- 2 tbsp sunflower oil shopping list
- 1 tsp cumin shopping list
- 1 big pinch of ground asafoetida (i substituted 1/2 tsp ground coriander) shopping list
- 1 medium onion, sliced shopping list
- 1 small fresh green chili, seeds and ribs removed, finely chopped shopping list
- 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste (a paste of 2 parts garlic, 1 part ginger, pureed with a bit of water) shopping list
- 1/2 tsp ground tumeric shopping list
- 2 tsp tomato paste shopping list
- 1 tsp garam masala shopping list
- salt shopping list
- 1 small handfull of fresh cilantro leaves shopping list
How to make it
- Heat the oil in a heavy pot over high heat. Rost the cumin in the oil until it begins to brown (I would be careful because I think I cooked it too much and it got bitter. Maybe it's better to heat the oil to hot, and turn it down to medium, then stir-fly the cumin just for a few seconds).
- Sprinkle in the asafoetida and the onions. Stir-fry about 5 minutes, until the onions are soft and golden. Add the chili and the ginger-garlic paste and mix well.
- Add the beans to the pot, sprinkle in the turmeric, and stir-fry another minute.
- Add the tomato paste and the garam masala and mix well. Cover the beans with water, add some salt (the book doesn't mention how much. I thought it needed quite a bit, but maybe that's because I burned the cumin and it tasted bitter) and bring to a boil. If you used pre-cooked or canned beans, it should take aobout 10 minutes, if you add dry beans, it should take 40 minutes. If you use dry beans, add more water so it doesn't dry out. The beans are ready when they are cooked but not falling apart. To thicken the curry a bit, mash the beans a bit with a fork.
- To serve, add the yogurt and mix well. Garnish with the coriander leaves.
