    An adaptation of a Sindhi recipe for black-eyed peas with spinach and
    dill. This is a healthy, bright side dish with Persian undertones.

    Add black-eyed peas to stockpot. Add 4 to 5 cups water, and salt to
    taste. Bring to boil, and let peas simmer until soft. Drain water,
    and set peas aside in the same pot.

    In a separate wok or large frying pan, heat oil. Add cumin seeds and
    mustard seeds. When they begin to pop, add the crushed garlic, kadi
    pata, and chopped chili.

    Fry for roughly 30 seconds on medium low heat. Begin to add chopped
    spinach in batches, folding it in with the spices. Add chopped dill.
    Increase heat to medium, and continue to fry until the spinach begins
    to wilt.

    Pour over the spinach and dill mixture into the pot of black-eyed
    peas. Add 1 cup water, red chili flakes, and salt. Bring to boil.
    Lower to simmer, cover with tight fitting lid, and let it cook for
    roughly 10 minutes.

    Once done, top with lemon juice and lemon zest. Garnish with fresh
    dill and finely chopped chili, and serve with paratha or roti.
