    Lobia curry, a simple and spicy Punjabi style recipe in onion and tomato masala gravy. A delicious lobia recipe made with lobia or black-eyed beans curry tastes best with chapati or rice both. If you are looking for a simple, vegan and gluten-free curry recipe, this tastes incredibly delicious with rice.

    Lobia curry recipe

    This is basically a Punjabi style lobia masala curry recipe. Lobia is also known as chawli in Maharashtra and cowpeas in English. Lobia or Rongi is a bean which is a good source of protein. So for the days when we are not eating eggs etc, we depend on the vegetarian source of protein. Beans are a great source of vegetarian protein. A ½ cup of cooked black-eyed peas or lobia contains 6.7 g of protein.

    I cook lobia curry pretty much similar way as I cook rajma or kala chana. But sometimes I like to add ½ teaspoon of chana masala which lifts the flavor even more. Also, you can make lobia curry in 20 minutes if you meal prep beforehand and make bhuna masala paste. All it takes is

    To add Variations to Simple Lobia Curry

    • You can add paneer cubes in the lobia. Not only it adds texture and taste but increases the overall protein content of the curry.
    • You can make one more variation of  lobia curry by adding Amritsari wadi (spicy dried lentil dumplings). It enhances the taste manifolds.
