Black eyed peas (alasanda) curry

I was bored with the kind of food I have been cooking regularly. So, I rummaged the kitchen (If you can call it that) closets for new ingredients :D

I found this box of black eyed peas that I bought while ago. I tried a curry a la Rajma.

You will need:

Black eyed peas - half a cup (Pressure cooked)

Onions - 2 (Finely chopped)

Tomatoes - 2(Finely chopped)

Green chillies - 2 (finely chopped)

Coriander(Dhaniya) powder -1 tbsp

Cumin seeds (jeera) - 1 tspn

Oil - 2 tspns

Garam masala, salt, turmeric, chilli powder , to taste

Add oil to a heavy bottomed pan. Once it is heated, add the cumin seeds. When the cumin starts to emanate a nice smell, add the chopped onions. Sauté until the onions are transparent. Add, salt and green chillies, sauté for a minute. Now add the garam masala, turmeric,chilli powder and dhaniya powder. Stir for a few seconds and add tomatoes. Stir until the tomatoes are well cooked.

Now add the peas and close the lid on the vessel. Reduce the heat. Cook until a few minutes.

Serve hot with rotis or rice.
