That night I made this first-timer. My MIL had boiled some black eyed beans and I was left only with a capsicum as it was my no onion-no garlic day....The recipe that clicked in my mind is as follows.
For four people:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup black eyed beans
- boiled2 capsicums chopped finely
- 1/2 tsp cummin seeds
- A pinch of asafoetida or hing
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- 1/2 tsp chilli powder (I use MDH Kashmiri mirch powder)
- 1/2 tsp coriander powder
- 1/4 tsp Kitchen King masala (I use MDH)
- 2 tablespoon curd or yogurt
- salt, sugar according to taste
Black eyed beans and Capsicum with Sweet Gestures
Method:
- In a pan heat some oil.
- Add cumin seeds.
- When they crackle add the hing, turmeric powder, coriander powder, and chilli powder
- Add the capsicum pieces and saute for 2-3 minutes.
- Add the boiled black eyed beans, kitchen king masala, and mix well.
- After a minute, add the yogurt and mix well.
- Add some water.
- Let this mixture cook for 5 minutes with a closed lid.
- When the gravy lets out the oil, the preparation is ready to be served.
Serve with chopped coriander. Goes great with rotis and puris.
