You need to remember to soak the black eyed peas overnight or approximately 10 to 12 hours before preparing them. Wash them after this soaking time and place them into a pot with water for boiling. They will take approximately 30 minutes in order to become soft. 1: In the meantime, you can take the tomatoes, wash them thoroughly and then cut them into small pieces. Put them aside. 2: Take the cumin seeds and put them into a pan. Roast them without any fat until they are dark brown. 3 : Once the black eyed peas are soft, you pour out the water and place them in a bowl. Add the tomato pieces, the cumin and both salts. Squeeze out the juice of the lemon and mix it all well without mashing the beans. 4 : Now let this mixture cool down and decorate it, before serving, with some pieces of fresh paneer and green coriander leaves! 5: Enjoy!
