Lobia Tomato Masala Curry

Black-eyed peas are an excellent source of calcium , folate , and vitamin A among other nutrients. Usually i prepare them as sundal..for a change, prepared them as masala , for my dinner as sides for chappathis..i prepared them with spicy tomato gravy with a handful of spices...the final result was really amazing, it was a big hit at home..

1cup Cooked Black eyed beans
1no Onion chopped
1/4tsp Cumin seeds
1/4tsp Fenugreek seeds
Salt
Oil
Chopped coriander leaves

TO GRIND:
2nos Tomatoes chopped
1/2tsp Peppercorns
1tsp Coriander seeds
1tsp Fennel seeds
2tsp Poppy seeds
1tsp Cumin seeds
5nos Garlic pods
3nos Dry red chillies

Dry fry the peppercorns, coriander seeds, poppyseeds, cumin seeds n fennel seeds in simmer for a while..add the fried seeds n tomatos, garlic pods with 1cup water n grind them coarsely, now add 1/4cup of the cooked black eyed beans to the spices n grind everything as fine paste...

Heat oil in a pan, add the cumin seeds n fenugreek seeds n let them splutters, add the chopped onion to them n stir them until they turns transculent..now add the grounded paste n cook them in simmer for a while..they will get stick very easily to the bottom of the pan, so keep on stirring, add enough water as per ur need for the gravy n add the salt..once the oil get separates from the gravy, add the rest of the black eyed beans to the gravy, cook them for few minutes n add the chopped coriander leaves, put off the stove..

Perfect side dish for chappathis, parathas...
