Black Eyed Peas Tikka Masala step by step

1. Soak peas overnight in water. Drain them before cooking..
2. In a food processor combine onion, garlic, cilantro. Pulse it until everything is finely chopped..
3. In a large pot (I used a 6qt Dutch oven)? put the oil in it & cook the onion/garlic/cilantro mix with the green chiles & the canned diced tomatoes..
4. Add the cumin, curry, tumeric, & Tikka masala seasonings. Let it cook for about another 5 minutes to let the flavors blend..
5. Add the black eyed peas, smoked pork hamhock, & water. Salt & pepper to taste, if you want..
6. Once it comes to a boil on med-high heat, cover & let it simmer on med-low until peas are soft & the "sauce" thickens. (About 2.5 hours).
7. Add heavy cream & let it summer uncovered for another 30 - 40 minutes..
8. Once it is nice & thick, you are done! I served this over white jasmine rice & it was delicious!.

So, this recipe is also known as "Punjabi Lobia Masala." The great thing about black eyed peas is that they don't take as long as other legumes to cook. You don't need to soak the beans at all - but I always soak legumes to help reduce phytic acid (more info on that here). Making lobia masala is very easy. With just a few simple ingredients Shahi lobia masala is ready in no time!! Just blend a sauteed mixture of onions and tomatoes with some simple spices, ginger, garlic and green chilies.
