Lobia
curry recipe with step by step photos – A North Indian spiced curry made with
black eyed beans. The beans are known as lobia in hindi language. Some also
call it as chawali/chavali. The other English name of black eyed beans is cow
peas.
Lobia
is our family favorite along with the other two- Rajma masala and black
chickpeas curry. Lobia masala is best served with roti or rice along with
salad.
Step by step Lobia
curry recipe:
- Soak the lobia overnight or for 2-3 hrs. Drain and rinse the lobia with water. Drain and keep it aside.
- In a pressure cooker, add the drained lobia, a pinch of turmeric powder and salt as required. Add 1½ cup of water and pressure cook until done. Check the lobia once it’s done.
- Take oil in a pan and when hot enough add cumin seeds and let it splutter.
- Then add the chopped onions. Stir and sauté till the onions are translucent.
- Grind or crush the ginger garlic and green chili together. Add that to the onions. Sauté till the raw aroma of the ginger and garlic goes away.
- Then grind the chopped tomatoes into a paste and cook till it leaves oil on sides.
- Next add remaining turmeric powder, red chili powder and coriander powder.
- Stir and sauté the masala on a low flame for 2-3 minutes. Now add the cooked lobia beans and stir well.
- when it is mixed with all the masala well, add the stock of the beans as well. If required add more water for the desired consistency.

salt as required and garam masala. Simmer the gravy without the lid so it gets
thickened. Lastly
add the chopped coriander leaves and give a final stir.
