This lobia rice is a warm hug in a bowl—tender black-eyed peas simmered in fragrant spices and tangy tomatoes, all folded into perfectly fluffy rice with a kiss of ghee on top. It’s a true one-pot wonder that fills your kitchen with mouthwatering aromas and comes together in under an hour, making it ideal for busy weeknights or relaxed weekend lunches. High in protein and fiber, it’s as nourishing as it is comforting, and every spoonful brings a balanced blend of heat, earthiness and a little hint of sweetness from the onions. Give it a try, and I promise it’ll become one of your go-to meals whenever you need something hearty, wholesome and impossibly easy.
