మా ఇంటి ముంగిట సంక్రాంతి ముగ్గుపై పువ్వుల నవ్వులా
మీ జీవితాలలొ కోటి సంక్రాంతులు విరబూయలని కోరుకుంటూ
అందరికీ మకర సంక్రాంతి శుభాకాంక్షలు.
Alasanda (balck eye peas) garelu are very famous snack in rayalaseema region. Alasandalu also known as bobbarlu in other areas. They usually make these on some special occasions one of them is kanuma day which comes after sankranthi festival. Alasanda garelu and chicken curry combination is very delicious. You will find these on road side (street food) on almost most of the places of rayalaseema mostly on evening times. Usually there they use brown color peas (alasandalu) but they are good with white ones as well. This year my mom made these for kanuma special and they are very delicious, you can just eat as it is without any side.
Ingredients:
Black eye peas(bobbarlu) - 1 pound
red onion - 1 chopped
mint leaves - chopped 1 cup
cilantro - chopped (1/2 cup)
green chilis (thai chili peppers) - 5
ginger root - 1 inch slice (peeled)
cloves - 4
cinnamon - small stick
oil - required for deep fry
salt - required
Procedure:
Soak black eyed peas overnight in water and keep aside
grind coarsely chili peppers, ginger, cinnamon and cloves together and keep the mixture aside
Drain the water from black eyed peas and grind coarsely by just adding some salt
add chopped onions, pepper and ginger mixture, mint and cilantro to the black eyed peas mixture.
In a pan add oil for deep frying and let it heat
take big lemon sized mixture and flatten it with fingers circular shaped and made a little whole in the center and slowly lift them with your hand drop it carefully in to the hot oil and let it fry both sides until it turn in to brown color. It will be crispy outside and little soft from inside.
Note: for making flatten rounds you can use a banana leaf or a zip lock bag and each time clean the base with water so that it will come out easily in to your hand and you can easily drop it in oil.
Serve them hot with tomato or ginger chutney or chicken or goat curry.
