Method

  1. 1

    Cook the basmati rice in plenty of boiling water for 10-12 minutes until tender, then drain.

    Heat the vegetable oil in a pan and fry the onion for 6 minutes until softened, then add the garlic cloves and fresh ginger and fry for 1 minute.

  3. 3

    Stir in the chopped tomatoes, ground turmeric and chilli powder and cook for 10 minutes until thickened.

  4. 4

    Add the black-eyed peas and 100ml water, and simmer for 10 minutes, mashing a few against the side of the pan, until the sauce thickens and clings to the beans.
