What is Lobia?

Lobia is a tiny pale-white, oval-shaped bean with a black eye. It is known as cowpea, black-eyed pea, or Chavli in Marathi. Black-Eyed Pea is commonly used in the Indian subcontinent to make a variety of curries and dishes.

It contains almost all essential vitamins and minerals you need, including folic acid, iron, potassium, magnesium, etc. But, most importantly, every 100 grams of serving provides 8 grams of protein and 6.6grams of fiber.

Ingredients Required

You need a few basic Indian pantry staples to make lobia chaat at home.

Dry Ingredients – Black Eyed Beans (Lobia), Roasted Peanuts

Vegetables – Onion, Tomato, Potato, Cucumber, Coriander

Fruits – Pomegranate Seeds, Lemon Juice

Spices – Salt, Red Chilli Powder, Chaat Masala, Cumin Powder

How To Cook Black Eyed Peas

Lobia does not require much soaking like other beans. Soak them just for 2 hours in water. Pressure cook for 2 – 3 whistles over medium heat in a gas stove. It is perfectly cooked for making the Chaat.

Boiling Peas in Instant Pot

Transfer the soaked beans (soaked for 2-3 hours) to the inner pot of an IP. Set the pressure cook mode for 15 minutes. Move the pressure valve to the Sealing position. After the cooking time is over, let the steam release naturally. Check beans for doneness.

How To Store Boiled Lobia

Cooked Lobia can stay good up to 3 – 5 days in the refrigerator and about six months if frozen. Always let the lobia cool down entirely and drain out all the water before storing them. Ensure you keep them in an airtight container, preferably glass, ceramic, or stainless steel. Avoid cooked beans in a plastic container.

  • ½ Cup chopped onion
  • ½ Cup chopped tomato, discard pulp
  • ½ Cup diced boiled potato
  • ½ Cup chopped cucumber
  • ¼ Cup pomegranate pearls/seeds
  • ¼ Cup chopped fresh coriander leaves
  • Juice of one lemon
  • ¼ Cup roasted peanuts
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 Teaspoon cumin powder (jeera powder)
  • ½ Teaspoon red chili powder

Instructions

Prep Work:

  • Rinse and soak the beans for 2 – 3 hours in 4 cups of water. After 2 – 3 hours, drain water from the beans.
  • Pressure cook the beans along with salt and approximately 2 cups of water. The soaked beans do not take more than 2 – 3 whistles over medium heat to get cooked. Open the lid of the pressure cooker and check beans for doneness.
  • Transfer the beans to a metal colander. Allow them to cool down completely.
  • Chop the vegetables and keep in the fridge while beans are cooling.
  • Meanwhile, in a pan add spices, and dry roast for 10 – 20 seconds till aromatic. Set aside.

Prepare Chaat:

  • Combine boiled beans, vegetables, and the spices in a bowl. Taste and adjust the seasoning accordingly.
  • Before serving add chopped coriander, lemon juice, and roasted peanuts.
  • Serve Lobia Chaat immediately.

Recipe Notes:

  • Do not over cook the beans in a pressure cooker for this Chaat recipe else they will turn out mushy.
  • If there is too much liquid in the boiled beans, transfer them to a metal colander, and remove the excess liquid.
  • You can boil the beans 1 – 2 days in advance and store in the fridge. 
  • Allow the beans to cool down completely before adding the vegetables and coriander so that the crunch and freshness of vegetables remain intact.
  • Adjust the salt to taste as while boiling beans also some amount of salt is added.

      It is a healthy, wholesome salad. You can check the nutrition value and calorie count in the recipe card to decide if this salad fits in your weight loss diet. I hope a nutritionist or dietician can guide you better. Love, Hina
