Black-Eyed Peas And Potato Stew | Lobia And Aloo Subzi

Jump to Recipe

Cold Winter nights calls for a bowl of this warm Black-Eyed Peas and Potato Stew made in the Instant Pot. Serve this Vegan and gluten free stew with some rice or crusty bread on the side.

Winter months calls for hearty stews served with some warm rice. I love working with lentils and beans as they are the major protein source for vegetarians like us. This Black-Eyed Peas and Potato Stew / subzi is just perfect for that.

I have lately fallen in love with coconut oil and have been using it extensively in my everyday cooking. If asked for my favorite bean, I have to say Black-eyed Peas / beans. It is not only for the flavor that it has become my favorite, but also for the ease of cooking.

Soaking the Beans

If you know me, I am really forgetful and there are many days when I have to change my dinner menu because I have forgotten to soak my beans.

Black-eyed peas are a life save for me that way as they don't require too long of a soaking. I usually just soak them for couple of hours and then make the recipe like this Black-eyed peas subzi or this variation without onion and garlic.

I also love this Kara Kuzhambu that I make with the black-eyed peas. If looking for some kind of snacks to make with Lobia/ Black-eyed peas, then you have to try this Lobia Vadai / Black-eyed Peas Fritters.

Like I mentioned in my last post, I am on a cooking spree in the Instant Pot and have been cooking non-stop in it for the past 2 weeks. I made this stew in the Instant Pot as well and it was done in a breeze.

I am falling in love with it and can't wait to try out more recipes in it. Since I was making this Lobia and Aloo subzi in the instant pot, I didn't even soak the beans for couple of hours. I just washed the beans and left it to soak only until I was getting all the prep works done, maybe like 15 minutes.
