Ingredients

 
Quantity: Measure: Ingredients: Description:
2 Teacup Chowli Beans/Black eyed Susan Wash and keep aside.
1 nos Onions for grinding
4 nos Chillies Red Dry for grinding
1 Pinch Turmeric/Haldi piece for grinding.
4 Flakes/Seeds/Cloves Garlic for grinding
A Little Tamarind for grinding
2 Tablespoon Cooking Oil for seasoning
1 Teaspoon Mustard Seed for seasoning
0.5 nos Coconuts - fresh. for garnishing

Method

Pick and clean the chowli peas and  wash.

Put the tamarind in a little bit of water, and keep it in a small container.  It will eventually become soft, and you can then squeeze the tamarind, and take out the juice.

Scrape the coconut and keep the flakes aside for garnishing.

In the meantime, grind the masala with the ingredients kept for grinding.   When the masala is ready, take it out and keep aside.  Wash the mixer/stone with a little water, and keep aside. 

Pour 2 spoons of cooking oil in a cooking vessel large enough to hold the vegetable, and heat it.   Put mustard in it, kept for seasoning.  It will splutter, and then stop doing so.  Put the masala in the oil and fry it.   Then add the peas  after draining all water.   The liquid in the vessel should be a little above the peas.   The water will be evaporated, and you should watch that it does not dry, and the contents don't get burnt.  So add some water if needed, till the vegetable is  cooked.  When  done, the dish should be more or less dry.  When the peas are cooked, add the coconut kept for garnishing.  Put the stove off, and cover it with its lid.
