Lobia gravy, Black eyed beans, lobia recipe

Lobia gravy, black eyed beans curry to go with simple jeera rice/ pulao or roti. Perfect lobia recipe to try.

One of my favorite curry I make in the south Indian way is Karamani kuzhambu. Never thought I should try this in gravy for even when I had requests to post recipes with lobia. In my childhood I have even seen mom making fresh karamani beans/ lobia beans. If it is young and tender, we even eat raw. Loved it.

Today I had no idea I am going to make this post. But somehow ended up trying this gravy and glad I did. When I finished making, the house was filled up with a pleasant smell of the gravy. Fingers crossed if Aj would love to have it with roti. This is simple with no whole masala or anything to make it rich like butter or cream. Just a simple home style Lobia recipe. I learnt this style of grinding tomato ginger and chilli as base from my friend Sangeeta and works well for most of the legumes or dal.

Notes

  • I soaked just 3 hours, it got cooked softly. I did not add salt while cooking lobia, so it gets cooked easily soft. You can also soak overnight.
  • While pressure cooking, make sure to cook in medium flame and cook until the lobia is soft. Especially if you are not soaking overnight.
  • Adjust chilli count and chilli powder measure as per the spice level.
