Palak lobia – with detail photo and video recipe. Lobia is also known as Chawli / Alasandalu / Bobbarlu / Rongi / Black Eyed Peas. In lobia there are different varieties Like Black Eyed Peas / Brown Lobia etc.

Healthy, garlic touch and delicious curry with spinach, black-eyed peas curry with a coconut masala. It is so good and comfortable and a favorite curry that you can just eat a spoonful of it from the bowl.

For this recipe soak lobia / bobbarlu for about 5 hours or overnight. Then pressure cook the lobia along with masalas like cloves, cardamom and cinnamon. Adding masala while pressure cooking lobia makes the gravy more flavourful and even the lobia seeds turn very tasty.

For the masala, I used wet coconut and roasted till it releases aroma and turns brown color. Instead of wet coconut, one can use dry coconut also. Roasting the masala gives more tasty gravy. Spinach Lobia is one of the more flavourful, delicious, tasty and nutritious curry.

Finally, I want to highlight some of my recipes like
