Most Indian mothers make special dishes, like rajma chawal, chole bhature, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ever wonder why? These things take a lot of time to cook, as you need soaking time before you can boil them. All these legumes are highly nutritious and offer numerous health advantages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One such legume is cowpeas, commonly known as lobia in Indian culture.
