Topop Cow Peas (Brown Chorie) - 500g is a pack of dried whole brown cow peas, labelled Brown Chorie and Produce of India on the pictured pack. Their earthy, nutty flavour pairs with tomato, coconut, ginger and warming spices, while the whole pulses bring a substantial texture to cooked dishes. These are brown chorie cow peas, not the cream-coloured black-eye beans sold separately or fresh green peas. They are a dry ingredient requiring preparation and thorough cooking, not canned or ready-to-eat beans.
The whole-pulse format suits curries where you want distinct beans in the gravy rather than the smoother finish of split dal. Cook until fully tender, then leave the beans intact or mash a portion into the sauce for a thicker consistency. Their earthy flavour works with both a tangy tomato masala and a gently spiced coconut gravy. Measure out what your recipe needs from the 500g bag and keep the remaining dry beans tightly sealed.
Sort through the cow peas and rinse thoroughly before preparation. Follow the current pack instructions or a recipe specifically intended for dried whole cow peas for soaking, draining and cooking requirements. After any required soaking, drain and cook in sufficient fresh water until tender throughout, checking the centres and maintaining enough liquid. Soaking alone does not make the beans ready to eat. Add fully cooked beans to dishes that have a shorter cooking time, rather than assuming they will finish alongside quick-cooking vegetables. If pressure cooking, follow the appliance's guidance for pulses, liquid quantities and maximum fill level.
