Mummy makes this recipe in my hometown, Mumbai, India. Its a very simple recipe, it is one pot cooking and can be easily made within 30 minutes. If you choose to puree this recipe, you can in a blender and eat this hearty soup with toasty white bread. Black Eyed Peas are easy to store and cook. I use fresh Black Eyed Peas and cook them prior to making this curry. You can buy frozen peas, which are partially cooked.
