Instructions
- Boil the Peas: Start this Black-Eyed Pea Salad Recipe by pressure-cooking the black-eyed peas with a little salt and water for about 4 whistles until they are very soft and smooth. Do not add too much salt at this stage.
- Prep the Veggies: Peel and finely chop the carrot, cucumber, onion, and tomato. Make sure to completely remove the tomato seeds before chopping.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the boiled black-eyed peas and all of your freshly chopped vegetables.
- Add the Tangy Flavours: Squeeze in the lemon juice. If you have raw mango at home, you can grate some in instead of the lemon juice for a unique, tangy kick.
- Add the Spices: Sprinkle the sugar, chaat masala, amchoor powder, regular salt, black salt, and red chilli powder evenly over the mixture.
- Mix Well: Gently toss everything together until the peas and veggies are beautifully coated with all the spices.
- Garnish: Top it off with freshly chopped coriander leaves. Your healthy salad is ready to eat!
