Lobia or black-eyed peas are a staple food in the south, especially during the winter months. The peas are often added to dishes that have a lot of flavor, like black-eyed pea curry.

Black-eyed peas is an important vegetable for both Indian and Middle Eastern cuisines. This legume is used in traditional dishes like dal, kootu, and curry.

The black-eyed peas are cooked with tomatoes, onions, garlic and ginger paste which gives the dish a tangy taste. There is also a good amount of spice in this dish which makes it overall super comforting and delicious to eat.

Serve with ghee rice, jeera rice or roti.
