Charishma's Delicious Pressure Cooked Black-Eyed Peas (Chauli) image

My family absolutely loves this dish I created on July the 2nd'04 in my apartment in America. I served this with my own Cumin rice (recipe posted separately). Personally, I like this because of the minimum amount of oil (fat) I used to make this and for the fact that now, I am no longer afraid to use a pressure cooker!!! I know you will love it if you are looking for a nice Indian vegetarian side dish, go for this one! Don't forget to review it, so I know what you think of it!

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a pressure cooker on medium flame.

  • Stir in the drained black-eye peas and cook, covered, on full flame for 5 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes.
  • Fold in the chopped tomato and salt.
  • Mix well and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Stir in 3 cups of water, mix well and close the cooker with its lid.
  • Cook on full flame{high heat} until the first whistle is heard.
  • Then, lower flame for 2 minutes before you increase it again to full heat and cook until you hear the second whistle.
  • Likewise, lower heat again for 3 minutes, before you increase it again to full and hear the third whistle.
  • Now, switch off the source of heat/gas stove/electric unit, and allow the black-eye peas to cook in the heat that has built up in the pressure cooker, until the pressure is gone and the lid can be easily opened.
