I'm calling this "Indian-Southern Fusion!" It is curried spinach from a palak paneer recipe, but instead of using paneer (Indian cheese), I use black-eyed peas to add protein and cut fat. I call it an homage to the deep-south recipes for black-eyed peas and greens.

Heat oil in pan. Add cumin seeds and roast for a minute.Add onion and garlic, and sautee until onions turn golden.Add ginger, turmeric, chili, garam masala, and bay leaf. Stir well, so onions and garlic are coated.Add spinach. Cover pan so leaves wilt in the steam, 5-8 minutes.Add black-eyed peas, tomato paste, and milk. Stir slowly, dissolving the paste into the liquid. If need be, add water, a little at a time, until the mixture is the desired texture (some people may like it "soupier," others a thicker, saucy texture).Cover and simmer on low heat until hot and flavours have mixed - at least 10-15 minutes. The longer you let it simmer on low heat, the more the spices will mingle and the food will steep in the flavours.OPTIONAL: if you prefer a smoother texture, use an immersion blender or food processor to puree.Serving Size: Makes 4 servings, roughly 1 1/2 cups each.Number of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user KALISCHILDE.
