Black-eyed Peas Sundal makes it to the top!

The criteria of course is the combination of appeal, taste and nutrition. The magic of black-eyed peas lies not only in its nutrients such as potassium, protein, carbs, iron, zinc and fiber, but also in its natural blood cholesterol lowering properties. Here's adding taste to nutrition and making consumption a pleasure.

Black-eyed peas Sundal - Pressure or steam cook 2 cups beans until soft to touch. Dip in cold water and drain water completely.

Grind together: 1/2 cup grated coconut, 5 green chillies, 3 Tbsps. coriander leaves and 1 inch long diced fresh ginger.

Take a wok, add 1 Tbsp. olive or canola oil. Spurt 1 tsp mustard seeds after oil gets hot. Add the ground mixture and let it cook for about 6 mins. Add the cooked legume. Mix well on medium low heat for about 8 mins. Add salt to taste.

The photo and recipe are contributions from my friend Sudha from India. Another foodie who is as picky in taste as I am. Stay tuned for more authentic tastes from India.
