Описание
In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium. Add the mustard seeds and when they start to sizzle (about 2 minutes) add the onion, garlic, ginger and curry leaves and cook for 5 minutes. Add the green beans and tomatoes. Mix all ingredients, add the salt and curry powder, then mix again. Put a lid on the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10-12 minutes. Add the black-eyed peas, adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper, and cook for a final 5 minutes with lid removed.
Serve hot over brown or white rice.
Serves 4-6 as a side dish, 3 as an entree.
