Black-eyed beans have a smooth texture, pealike flavour and are good when mixed with other vegetables.Like most beans, black-eyed beans are rich in the best sort of fiber - soluble fiber - which helps to eliminate cholesterol from the body. They are a good source of folate, potassium, copper, phosphorous and manganese. As a high-potassium, low-sodium food they help reduce blood pressure. Not only are they low in fat, but when combined with grains, beans supply high quality protein which provides a healthy alternative to meat or other animal protein. Beans also contain protease inhibitors which frustrate the development of cancerous cells. Adding carrot to this protein packed beans makes more healthy n delicious, they ressembles quite tasty as channadal masala vadais..i prepared this crispy vadais for evening snacks..they turned out yummy..

1no Onion chopped
2nos Green chillies
1/2tsp Fennel seeds
