A big Hello to all my dear readers! 🙂 Today I’m sharing this recipe post with great jubilation, why because, its the 3 rd. anniversary of my food blog! I feel, not much but, a bit accomplished. And I know, nothing would have been possible without each and every one of your support, attention, trials, feedback, reviews, appreciation, shares, demands, requests, what not!
I FEEL VERY GRATEFUL TO EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU! Please accept my heartfelt gratitude and bless me to share more healthier recipes, achieve even more during the next coming years!
For my last 2 blog anniversaries, I have been sharing simple dessert recipes, FIRST ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL Vanilla Fudge / Instant Palakova and SECOND ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL Mango Kalakand Burfi / Fudge.
But, this year I decided to post this highly nutrient dense recipe. As, I had few requests asking for recipes with black eyed beans. In the South of America, people have a belief of having black eyed peas / beans on New Year’s Day would bring them good luck. Hence this post! Hope you would try it too!
Important points for making ‘Black Eyed Peas Savory Pan Cakes / Lobia Dosa’:
Ideally this dosa requires only 4 basic ingredients. The rest of them are just giving additional taste & aroma.
Do not soak for more than 7-8 hrs. If you soak for more time, the black eyed peas release a stinking smell which will affect the aroma of the dosa as well.
This recipe is intended only for using DRIED black eyed peas. I did not try with canned black eyed peas as they are already cooked.
Addition of dried red chillies is just to add a tinge of spice to the batter, and in turn reduces sweetness of the black eyed peas.
If you are short of the ingredients under ‘To Garnish’, don’t bother this dosa tastes good even without them. Or just add whatever you have.

Step wise pics Procedure for ‘Breakfast with Black Eyed Peas / Alasanda / Bobbarlu / Lobia Dosa’:
PREP WORK:
- If you soak 2 cups of dried beans they would result into 3 cups of beans, as required for this recipe.
TO MAKE BLACK EYED PEAS / LOBIA DOSA:
Tips:
- Black eyed peas are called as Alasanda / Bobbarlu in Telugu and as Lobia in Hindi.
- Soaking time for black eyed peas might take 5-6 hrs in summers but same amount of beans might take 7-8 hrs to be perfectly soaked.
- Adjust the salt & spice as per your taste.
- Using garlic for garnish is NOT SUITABLE for this recipe.
- In case you do not have an appropriate dosa pan, use a wide non-stick frying pan.
- My dosa pan is very huge, and I could make 12 large size dosa(s) with the above mentioned ingredients.
- You might make even more number, if you opt for smaller size dosa(s).
- Turning the dosa to the reverse side, is completely optional. They turned out well cooked even when I didn’t turn behind.
- Finely chopped cashew nuts, can also be added for garnish.
- Storage: The batter can be stored in fridge for 2 days only. And you need not thaw, but use it right away when you take it out of the fridge.
- After 2 days, the batter starts forming foam and released stinking smell, which is not at all good for consuming.
Result:
- As shown the below pic, I served this dosa with Mint-Coconut Chutney / Pudina-Kobbari Pachchadi, which actually gave the additional spicy taste to the dosa.
- Breakfast with Black Eyed Peas / Alasanda Dosa, sounded very interesting for my kids, and as per my expectation turned out quite a palatable and filling breakfast.
- We felt, just 2 or might be 3 dosa(s), is more than filling for an adult. And, my kids were filled with just 1 large dosa as shown.
