Preparación

Soak the black-eyed peas in water for at least 4 hours, then drain.
Blend the soaked peas with water, onion, ginger, garlic, and pepper until smooth but slightly coarse.
Transfer the batter to a bowl, add salt and optional cumin, and mix well.
Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat.
Scoop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, flatten slightly, and fry until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Remove the bara with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Serve hot with spicy sauce or chutney.
