Categories     Bean

Yield 4 Serving

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup dried black-eyed peas or two 15-ounce cans, drained
2 tablespoons, canola oil
1 small yellow onion, minced (about 1 cup)
1 teaspoon coriander seeds, finely ground
1/2 teaspoon finely grated garlic (about 1 large clove)
1/2 teaspoon finely grated ginger (about a 1-inch piece)
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon cayenne (I always start with the half the suggested cayenne, and then decide if it needs more. Mine didn't.)
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds, finely ground
1/4 cup minced tomato (1 small tomato)
2 cups (or 1 cup if using canned peas) hot water
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste if using canned peas
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 cup canned coconut milk
2 tablespoons minced cilantro leaves
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Steps:

  • If using dried black-eyed peas, rinse and soak them in enough water to cover for 6 to 8 hours. Drain. In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium-low heat and saute the onion until it turns dark brown, about 8 minutes. Add the coriander, garlic, ginger, turmeric, cayenne and cumin, and stir for 2 minutes. Add the tomato and stir over low heat until it disintegrates. Add the peas and mix well. Pour in the hot water, if using, add the salt and sugar, and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down to low, cover, and simmer until the peas are cooked through, about 20 minutes. If using canned peas, simmer for only 10 minutes (it is essential to simmer the canned peas, too, so that all the flavors blend better). Stir in the coconut milk and simmer uncovered for another 8 to 10 minutes, again allowing the flavors to come together. Add the cilantro and lemon juice, simmer for 1 minute more, and remove from heat. Serve hot.

Delicious and authentic Goan curry. The black-eyed peas were a nice touch, adding a subtle sweetness to the dish. I served it with roti, and it was a perfect meal.

This curry exceeded my expectations. The combination of spices and coconut milk resulted in a rich and creamy sauce that perfectly complemented the black-eyed peas. I served it with rice, and it was an absolute treat. Highly recommend!

This Goan black-eyed peas curry was a delightful culinary journey. The flavors were incredibly well-balanced, with the right amount of heat and a depth of spices that kept me going back for more. The peas were cooked perfectly, maintaining their text
