Wash the soaked black eyes peas multiple times. Heat some oil in a pressure pan. Saute turmeric powder, green chilies and the ginger matchsticks. When fragrant add the black eyed peas. Mix well. Sprinkle the garam masala, coriander powder and chopped ginger. Drizzle 3-4 tablespoons of water. Pressure cook on high for the first whistle. Switch it off.

Melt the butter, if needed use a microwave. Its a quick and easy way to do make it soft. Mix the red chilly flakes. Liberally coat this on the baby corns and carrot pieces. Get a girdle pan to high heat. Spread out the baby corn and carrots. Let them sizzle for about a min. Then start tossing them around till all sides are cooked.
