This black eyed pea curry is delicious and super easy to whip up.

Health and quick. This is a super easy veggie curry.
The ingredients for this black eyed pea curry are easy to source…
One thing I like about this black eyed pea curry recipe is that all of the ingredients are easy to find.
I found them all at my local supermarket so you probably can too.
I have used black eyed peas but any similar beans will do. You could use kidney beans, butter beans or chickpeas with equally tasty results.
This black eyed pea curry may be vegetarian but you won’t miss the meat. It’s both filling and good for you too.
How to serve this simple vegetarian curry.
You could serve this as a main with some saffron rice or karahi naans. That’s always a good combo!
You might also like to try this as part of a vegetarian thali. Why not make a few vegetarian curries and make this into a feast?
Try it with kala chana curry, tinda masala and/or this hugely popular broccoli option.
Those are just some of my favourites.

Wow what a great way to use up capsicums. I get stuck on using up massive capsicums here in Australia so thank you for the inspiration.
To the gentleman above, perhaps your onions were over browned or your tin beans might’ve needed another rinse. Or the spices were browned off.
Stay safe

Hi Geoff
Not really sure. I'll have to make it again as I haven't experienced that problem.
