This doesn't look South African to me, but it doesn't look like a bad
recipe. We can get unsweetened coconut milk in most supermarkets tho'
(local and imported). If it makes you feel any better I wouldn't know
where to get pigeon peas either. I thought they were more of an "East
African" thing.


But I found this on The Cook's Thesaurus:

http://www.foodsubs.com/Peas.html

pigeon pea = goongoo pea = gunga pea = gungo pea = congo pea = congo
bean = no-eyed peas = gandules Shopping hints: These are usually
sold dried, but fresh, frozen, and canned peas also are available. They
have a strong flavor, and they're popular in the South and in the
Caribbean. *Substitutes: yellow-eyed peas OR black-eyed peas*

Good luck!
