Wow lovely easy recipe of black eyed beans. Black eyed curry is family favourite , but always made in typical gujarati style (sweet ). Surely try this version.
The curry looks so creamy and delicious. I make them rarely as all in the family are not much fond of these, though I like black eyed beans alot.
Easy peasy recipe😊
Hi – quick question can you cook the black eyed beans in a normal pan if you dont have a pressure cooker?
Hi Ashton, yes you can cook them in normal pan, by adding enough water and cook .
Thanks! I’m going to make this for lunch today 🙂
