Black eyed bean veggie (alasande kalu)
Written by Jayashree

Black eyed bean makes a good accompaniment with chapati or jowar roti. Dried ones need soaking while the fresh ones can be cooked instantly.

Daily cooking needs some planning and I find beans to be useful in some way, either as a quick or soaked stir fry.  I tend to make them quite often as they are rich in nutrients and loved by all. Black eyed bean,  known by the name as “alasande ” in kannada  makes a good accompaniment with jowar roti or chapati. It is used in various dishes as sambar and fried dumplings. Here is one kind of accompaniment that is often made at home.

Jayashree, like the suggestion of grinding coriander and then adding it to the beans. Sounds delicious and a nice way to enjoy black eyed beans with some roti or on its own.
