Cow peas in place of beans and served with Stewed Bodi, Acar Timun and Kosambari. Enough for a load of meals. The Cow peas took for ever to cook so the taste infused all through. Lovely.

The aroma of this dish is incredible. The spices and herbs are so complimentary. It was nothing short of amazing. We had ours with simple salad and hot mango sauce and we loved it. It is very easy to understand why this is such a popular national dish. Delicious. Thank you guys.
