Step 1
Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, until softened, about 4 minutes.
Step 2
Stir in minced green chilies and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 3
Add drained black-eyed peas, canned tomatoes with juice, and vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer.
Step 4
Simmer uncovered for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until stew thickens and flavors meld.
Step 5
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stew should be creamy and slightly thick, not soupy.
Step 6
Divide warm rice among bowls. Ladle stew over top, then arrange fresh lettuce, cucumber slices, and pickled vegetables alongside. Drizzle with chutney if desired and serve hot.
