Ingredients

  • Black eyed peas - 2 cup (soaked in water for 4 - 5 hours)
  • Urad dal - 1 spoon
  • Mustard seeds - 1/4 spoon
  • Pinch of asafoetida
  • Chopped green chillies - 2
  • Few curry leaves
  • 1 medium size onion - chopped
  • Sambar powder - 1 1/2 spoon (according to taste)
  • Salt
  • Amchur powder - 1/2 spoon
  • Sugar - 1 spoon
  • Oil - 3 spoon

Directions

  1. Method:

  2. Heat oil in a pan, add urad dal, mustard seeds and asafoetida. Once the mustard seeds start spluttering, add curry leaves and chopped green chillies. Saute them for a minute.

  3. Then, add the soaked black eyed peas, salt, sambar powder, amchur powder and sugar. Add water just enough to cover the Palya mixture and cook covered on medium flame.

  4. Saute them occasionally and add water, if required. Once the peas are almost cooked, add chopped onion and cook for 5 more minutes.

  5. By the time it is done, all the water content will be evaporated. If you wish, you can retain little water and make it a gravy.

  6. This Palya goes well with roti, chapathi or dosa.
