Black eyed beans curry ( or rongi or lobhia or ravaan as it is called) is again a simple, protein packed dish suited for everyday cooking. This is my second entry to RCI Punjab, initiated by Lakshmi and hosted by Richa.
3 cups of black eyed beans/ rongi / lobhia / ravaan
3 onions
5 tomatoes
2 green chillies
1 ½ tbsp ginger-garlic paste
a pinch of asafoetida
1 tsp red chilli powder
1 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp garam masala powder
Salt as per taste
Coriander for garnish
3 cups of black eyed beans/ rongi / lobhia / ravaan
3 onions
5 tomatoes
2 green chillies
1 ½ tbsp ginger-garlic paste
a pinch of asafoetida
1 tsp red chilli powder
1 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp garam masala powder
Salt as per taste
Coriander for garnish
Wash the black eyed beans well and soak for 2 hours. Drain the soaked water and pressure cook the beans with salt and slices of ginger till they are soft. While the beans are cooking, chop the onions and puree the tomatoes. Heat oil in a pan, add the asafoetida and sauté the onions till brownish red in colour. Add the ginger-garlic paste and slit green chillies and fry. Then pour the tomato puree, add the red chilli powder, turmeric powder and coriander powder. Cook the puree well till the raw smell disappears and the oil separates. Then add the cooked beans, mashing it slightly with the spoon. Add the garam masala and stir through well. Garnish with coriander leaves. Serve with rotis or parathas.

Jyotsna, I absolutely love Lobia but I know only one way of making it, thank you for giving me another method. Punjabi food is a staple around our house (I'm half a Punjabi) so it was a thrill to see all your Punjabi food recipes, thanks a bunch!
Thankyou Viji!
Lotus - I'm glad to hear that! Punjabi food is a regular at my place too :))
That is a mouth watering array of foods. Lobhia is a favorite of mine too, cook both the dried and frozen ones. Yours looks perefect to have with rotis.
Indo - Glad you liked it :)
Jyothsna, what a wonderful blog you have here. My husband actually discovered your blog and shared it with me, and he picked out this great recipe for us to try from your treasure trove.
I have just blogged about it on my food blog, telling everyone how much I loved it, and I have added your blog to my blogroll.
