Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

5 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon garlic, minced
3/4 cup water, divided
1 small tomatoes, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 lb ground beef
1 (15 ounce) can black-eyed peas, drained
1/8 teaspoon garam masala
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
1/2 teaspoon green chili pepper, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, and saute until light golden, then throw in the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  • Put in 1/4 cup of the water and tomato, then season with salt, red chili powder, cumin, and turmeric. Simmer for 1 minute.
  • Add beef and cook for at least 10 minutes, adding another 1/4 cup of the water when it gets dry. When the beef mixture is fully cooked and again dry, pour in the black-eyed peas.
  • Cook for 3 minutes. Stir in the remaining 1/4 cup of water, and reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer until all of the water has evaporated and you can see the oil.
  • Remove from the heat and mix in the garam masala. Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle the lemon juice, cilantro, and green chilies over the top.
  • Serve with warm pita/naan, raita (yogurt laced with a dash each of salt, black pepper, cumin powder and chopped green chilies), and finely sliced onion laced with lemon juice.

I have been making these Southern black-eyed peas for years and years, and they are always a big hit for family dinners! Don't skip the cumin, which is the "secret" ingredient.

BLACK EYED PEAS KEEMA CURRY PITA SANDWICH



Black Eyed Peas Keema Curry Pita Sandwich image

I made Japanese Keema curry which is called "Dry Curry" with black eyed peas, ground beef and some vegetables (including one of budget ingredients, green bell pepper). To make this curry more delicious, I added cocoa powder which birings out rich flavor and makes the dish savory. This curry also goes well with rice.
