🥘 Ingredients

• Black Eyed Peas - No soaking required. They will easily get cooked in the pressure cooker.
• Olive Oil - I like to use Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• Onions - You can use Red or Yellow onions
• Garlic - Minced garlic for flavours
• Diced Tomatoes - A hint of tanginess
• Tomato Sauce - to build the flavours
• Coconut Milk - I use Lite Coconut milk. Its actually the 2% of Regular Coconut Milk, is rather watery and runny and low in fat.
• Desiccated Coconut - To give the curry a slight crunch of Coconut
• Ground Spices - Turmeric, Cayenne Pepper, Ground Cumin, Ground Coriander, Garam Masala, Salt & Pepper
• Green onions - Finely chopped for garnish.

💬 Substitutions

If you don't have all the above mentioned Ground Spices at home, you can skip some of it.

You can skip Turmeric if you have to.

You can skip Garam Masala and use Ground Cinnamon and Ground Nutmeg Instead. Its not the perfect replacement but will give you similar flavours when in a pinch.

I highly recommend you use Ground Coriander. However, skip it if you have to but use Indian Curry Powder. Its the perfect replacement for all other spices.

This is an Indian Curry Recipe so I have used some Ground Spices. However, feel free to skip them if you want to.

For a Mexican twist, use Chipotle Peppers along with Cumin and Oregano. It will give this recipe a spicy Mexican twist.

You can skip all the ground spices and use Thai Red Curry Paste or Green Curry Paste to give this curry a Thai Makeover!
