Black-eyed beans are known as lobia in India and as red kidney beans in other parts of the world. This bean is packed with protein and fibre, besides being very tasty.
In South India, this sweet is an offering to gods during navarathri. However, this can be prepared on normal days too as it is free from oil and refined sugar.
Ingredients:
Lobia -2cups
Jaggery/brown sugar -1cup
Grated coconut -4tbls
Salt 1/2tsp
Method:
Dry roast the lobia till it turns brown.
Soak it in water for two hours.
Cook it in the soaked water till it turns soft.
Add the salt and brown sugar. Keep on a low flame and boil till the water is almost absorbed. Garnish with grated coconut.
