Directions

Method:
-
Heat oil in a pan, add urad dal, mustard seeds and asafoetida. Once the mustard seeds start spluttering, add curry leaves and chopped green chillies. Saute them for a minute.
-
Then, add the soaked black eyed peas, salt, sambar powder, amchur powder and sugar. Add water just enough to cover the Palya mixture and cook covered on medium flame.
-
Saute them occasionally and add water, if required. Once the peas are almost cooked, add chopped onion and cook for 5 more minutes.
-
By the time it is done, all the water content will be evaporated. If you wish, you can retain little water and make it a gravy.
-
This Palya goes well with roti, chapathi or dosa.
