1 cup diced potatoes
1 cup black eyed peas (soaked overnight)
2 tbs. oil or ghee
1/2 onion diced
5-6 cloves of garlic, chopped
1 tsp. whole cumin seeds
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. ground coriander
1-2 tsp. turmeric
2 medium tomatoes, coarsely chopped

Directions

Heat the oil and fry the cumin seed until fragrant then add the onion and garlic and sauté gently for a few minutes - add the ground spices and fry well. Add the salt, tomatoes, tama, potatoes and the black eyed peas and add enough water to give it the consistency of soup. Cook in a pressure cooker for 20-30 min. or until the black-eyed peas are cooked. Adjust the seasonings and cook for 10 more minutes uncovered until it has reached the right consistency. Grnish with a generous sprinkling of fresh chopped coriander. Serve with plain rice. Enjoy!
