soaking chawli
  1. We have used the smaller variety of chawli beans. To prepare chawli bean salad, pick and clean the black-eyed beans. Use 3 tablespoons chawli beans to get  1/2 cup soaked and drained chawli (cow pea / lobhia).  
     
  2. Combine chawli and enough water in a deep bowl.  
     
  3. Cover with a lid and keep aside to soak 3 to 4 hours or overnight.  
     
  4. This is what like the chawli beans look like after soaking.
  5. Drain chawli well using a strainer. 
     
  6. Your soaked and drained chawli beans are ready.  
     

making chawli French beans and carrot soup
  1. Heat 1 tbsp butter in a pan.  Butter has a rich, creamy flavor. Butter has short chain fatty acids and medium chain fatty acids which are broken down and absorbed into the body directly and go straight to the liver and get converted to fuel to be used by the muscles. Due to this anti-inflammatory effect, it is said to have a positive effect in treating Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).
  2. Add 1/3 cup chopped onions. Onions have a mild, sweet flavor that complements the other vegetables in the soup. Onions add a soft, slightly chewy texture to the soup.  Raw onions are a very valuable source of vitamin C – the immune building vitamin.
  3. Cook the onions over medium heat for 2 minutes, or until they are soft and translucent.
  4. Add 2 tbsp celery (ajmoda) , chopped. Celery has a unique flavor that is both sweet and slightly earthy and adds a nice crunch to the soup. Celery helps reduce the total blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels, thus reducing the clogging of arteries and chances of stroke.
  5. Add 2 bayleaves (tejpatta). Bay leaves also have a strong aroma that can help to make the soup smell more appealing.
  6. Add 1/3 cup chopped french beans. French beans have a mild, slightly sweet flavor that pairs well with the other vegetables in the soup. French Beans are rich in folic acid.  A deficiency of folic acid can also lead to anaemia, as like iron they are equally necessary to make red blood cells.
  7. Add 1/3 cup chopped carrots. Carrots have a sweet, earthy flavor that complements the flavors of the chawli and french beans. Carrot is great for the eyes.They relieve constipation, lower blood pressure, have fibre and lower cholesterol.
  8. Add 1/3 cup cauliflower florets. Cauliflower has a mild flavor and a slightly crunchy texture. Cauliflower is extremely low in carbs and therefore does not raise blood glucose levels quickly. One cup Cauliflower provides you 100% off your daily recommended allowance of Vitamin C.
  9. Add the soaked and drained chawli (cow pea / lobhia). Chawli rich in Folate or Vitamin B9 helps your body to produce and maintain new cells, especially red blood cells. Chawli benefits in lowering blood pressure as it is rich in the mineral Potassium which controls blood pressure and sustain cardiac health.    
  10. Cook on medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  11. Add 5 cups of hot water.
  12. Cook  on a medium flame for 15 minutes until 90% cooked or the beans are tender.
  13. Add 1/3 cup shredded cabbage.
  14. Add 1/3 cup chopped tomatoes. Tomatoes have a rich, tangy flavor that complements the earthy flavor of the chawli and the sweetness of the french beans and carrots.  Tomatoes are extremely rich source of Lycopene. Tomatoes are a powerful antioxidant, super rich in Vitamin C, good for heart. 
  15. Simmer for 3 to 4 minutes.
  16. Add salt to taste. We added xx tsp salt.
  17. Add freshly ground black pepper (kalimirch)  to taste.
  18. Serve hot, garnished with the chopped parsley and cheese (optional).
