Lobia Recipe | Punjabi Lobia Curry Recipe | Black Eyed Peas Curry Recipe

Lobia recipe or black eyed bean recipe. This lobia ki sabzi is Punjabi style lobia curry recipe made in onion tomato gravy and is very different from the regular curry that we normally make at home.

Lobia also known as Chawli in Hindi and black eyed peas in English. It is Rich in protein, easy to make and goes very well with roti, paratha and rice. Black eyed beans are made in many different ways in different parts of the world, ranging from Punjabi lobia curry, Gujrati style lobia recipe , Pakistani style lobia masala or Marathi style lobia sabzi.

Sometimes when you are in hurry but want to eat something filling and delicious this lobia curry is a good option.  Lobia does not require long soaking hours like rajma and chole. If you soak it for 1 hour then it cooks in just 20 – 25 minutes. If soaked for 2-3 hours it can be cooked in 15-20 minutes. Sometimes if you want to make it immediately just add little baking soda and cook it for 30-40 minutes in pressure cooker.  Always use pressure cooker to cook lobia otherwise it will take very long time to cook. To make black eyed peas curry even more delicious, add some chole masala and kasoori methi. Trust me it gives nice kick to lobia masala. You can also add rajma masala instead to chole masala in this recipe.
