Lobia Curry (black eyed beans curry/ choli nu shaak) is a simple yet delicious curry (sabji with gravy) from north Indian cuisine which is usually served with roti or rice in lunch. This curry can be made in two ways – 1. First the oaked beans are boiled until soft and then cooked with spices, 2. Soaked beans are cooked with spices and then boiled until soft.

Cooking Measurements
Ingredients:
3/4 cup Lobia (black eyed peas/dry choli), soaked in water for 4-6 hours or overnight
1 tablespoon Oil
1 teaspoon Cumin Seeds
1/2 teaspoon grated Ginger (or paste)
4-5 Curry Leaves, optional
1 Green Chilli, chopped
1 medium Onion, finely chopped (approx. ½ cup)
1 medium Tomato, finely chopped or pureed (approx. ½ cup)
1/2 teaspoon Red Chilli Powder
1 teaspoon Cumin-Coriander Powder
1/4 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
1½ cups Water
Salt, to taste
2 tablespoons Coriander Leaves, for garnishing
Note: If you are not soaking the beans then you need to add more water (add more 3/4 cup water) and cook them for 8-9 whistles or until the lobia (black eyed beans) turn soft.
Directions:
  1. step-1
    Rinse 3/4 cup lobia (black eyed peas/chauli) for 2-3 times and soak them in enough water for 4-6 hours or overnight.
  2. step-2
    After soaking, they will increase in size. Drain them and rinse again with water.
  3. step-3
    Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 3 or 5 litre capacity pressure cooker over medium flame. Add 1 teaspoon cumin seeds. When they sizzle, add 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger, 4-5 curry leaves and 1 chopped green chilli. Sauté them for 30 seconds.
  4. step-4
    Add 1/2 cup finely chopped onion. Sauté until onion turns translucent.
  5. step-5
    Add 1/2 cup chopped tomato. Sauté until tomatoes turn soft or for 1-2 minutes.
  6. step-6
    Add 1/2 teaspoon red chilli powder, 1 teaspoon cumin-coriander powder and 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder.
  7. step-7
    Mix well and sauté for 30 seconds.
  8. step-8
    Add soaked and drained lobia (black eyed peas) and salt.
  9. step-9
    Stir and cook for 1-2 minutes.
  10. step-10
    Add 1½ cups water (use double amount of water – for 1 part of beans: use 2 parts water).
  11. step-11
    Mix well and close the lid. Cook for 6-8 whistles or until the beans are soft.
  12. step-12
    Turn off the flame. Let the pressure release naturally. Remove the lid and check the lobia (black eyed peas). They should be soft.
  13. step-13
    If you don’t like more gravy or if you want thick gravy then mash the few lobia beans with backside of a spoon and cook again for 2-3 minutes or until you get the desired consistency.
  14. step-14
    Turn off the flame and transfer the curry in a serving bowl. Garnish it with chopped coriander leaves or julienned ginger.
Tips and Variations:
  • Lobia (black eyed benas/black eyed peas/ chauli) – If you are in jiffy then you can make this curry without soaking the lobia. Add more 3/4 cup water (total water – 1½ cups + ¾ cup) and cook the beans for 8-9 whistles or until soft.
  • Thickness – Curry turns thick as it cools down so keep watery gravy while cooking.
Taste:  Mild Spicy
Serving Ideas:   Serve lobia curry with steamed rice or chapati and papad in lunch.
