Black-eyed Pea Coconut Curry

Nutritional values
Black-eyed peas contain vital protein building blocks, including tryptophan. This amino acid is converted in the body to the happiness hormone serotonin, thus lifting the mood and at the same time having a calming and balancing effect. The fatty component lauric acid from Coconut milk can render pathogens harmless and thus protect against colds and flu.
You can get black-eyed peas in well-stocked supermarkets or health food stores. If you can't get any, replace the legumes with chickpeas, white beans or kidney beans, for example.
