Its Friday!let us be lazy and eat healthy. Creamy black eyed kidney beans.

I must confess that these types of beans are not commonly cooked in my family. Once during my office trip to Delhi, one of my colleague invited me for dinner at his house. That was the first time I tried them. The recipe that I am going to share with you is half a part from his mom and half a part from my imagination but the taste is awesome trust me.

Soaked for 5-6 hours before cooking

Ingredients:

Two tea cups dried black Eyed beans, soaked in water for 4 -5 hours and boiled.
Tomatoes ( 1 big)
Onion (2 medium sized) chopped
Garlic paste: 4 tea spoon
Ginger paste: 1 tea spoon.
Turmeric: 1 tea spoon.
Cumin : 1 tea spoon.
Coriander powder :1 tea spoon.
Oil of your choice. I used olive oil .
Fresh cream. ½ cup.

Note: I completely avoid canned food due to health reasons. To make my life easier I soak them over night and boil them in a batch and store them in the refrigerator. When drained properly and stored in an air-tight box it lasts for minimum 5 days. Apart from making this Creamy daal recipe I also sprinkle a generous amount in my salads.

So , let’s get started :
Step1: Heat oil in a pot and add the chopped onions.

Step2: When the onions turn brown add garlic, ginger paste and stir. Cook for 2 mins and add cumin, coriander, turmeric powder and stir well till the mixture starts to release oil.

Tips: Sprinkle water if the mixture sticks to the bottom of the pan.

Step 3: Add the pre-boiled beans and stir everything well and cook for 6-7 min in medium high heat.

Step 4: Add two cups of warm water and increase the heat.

Step 5: I love the consistency to be thick ,so I boil a little longer so that the gravy is thick and then add salt to taste. You may choose to stop when you are satisfied with the consistency.

Tips: If you are planning to serve it with Bread thicker consistency tastes better.

Step 6: Add the cream from the top and slightly stir the mixture so that the cream mixes with the beans and you are done.

Tips: I added a little extra cream later to make it look nicer and more creamy
