Cowpeas தட்டைப்பயறு (Thatta payaru)

Cowpeas, commonly known in Tamil as தட்டைப்பயறு (Thatta payaru), are nutrient-rich legumes widely used in Indian and South Indian cooking. They are a great source of plant protein, fiber, iron, and essential minerals, making them a healthy addition to daily meals.
When soaked and cooked, cowpeas turn soft, flavorful, and creamy—perfect for curries, gravies, sundal, and salads.
Naturally unpolished and easy to digest, cowpeas are ideal for vegetarian and vegan diets.
