Indian Beans Recipe - Fat Free


For things that need hours of boiling, why add fat? You can't taste it. You won't miss it. The stew will taste just as delicious with or without the oil. So try this recipe and see if you enjoy this lower calorie version.

1 cup black eyed peas, soaked for 4 hours
blended to a puree: 1 large tomato, 2 x 1inch pieces of ginger, 1/2 onion cut into big chunks
1 tsp cumin powder
2 tsp coriander powder
1/2 tsp red chilli powder or flakes
(Optional) MDH Chana masala powder
salt

1. Boil the soaked beans for 2 hours in 2-3 cups of water.
2. Throw out the dark boiling water. Add fresh water. 2 cups.
3. Add the rest of the ingredients. Boil for 2 more hours.

DONE!

Or if you want to slow cooker this, put all ingredients in a slow cooker. Cook on high for 6 hours.

DONE!
Because there is no added fat, I just count the calories/points of the beans.

Enjoy!
