Rinse black-eyed peas thoroughly and soak them in water for at least 4 hours or overnight for best texture.
Drain the soaked beans and cook them in a large pot with enough water until tender (20–25 minutes at medium heat, skimming foam for clarity).
While beans cook, heat vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium. Add cumin seeds and sauté until they begin to crackle.
Add chopped onion and sauté until golden brown, then mix in ginger and garlic; cook another 2 minutes for a fragrant base.
Stir in diced tomatoes, turmeric, coriander, red chili powder, and salt; cook at medium heat until tomatoes break down and oil separates.
Combine the cooked beans with the masala base, add garam masala, and simmer together for 10–12 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally for even thickening.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
