Add the grated ginger and garlic to the pan and cook for an additional minute.
4
Stir in 1 cup frozen black-eyed peas, 2 cups frozen spinach, 1 tsp coriander powder, 1/2 tsp cumin, and 1/2 tsp chili powder, and sauté for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring often, until the peas and spinach are heated through.

Mix 2 tbsp tomato paste into the pan until well incorporated, and remove from heat.

Whisk the egg in a small bowl and set aside.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the refrigerator biscuits individually.

Place a heaping tablespoon of the black-eyed pea and spinach mixture onto the center of each rolled-out biscuit, brush the edges with beaten egg, fold the dough over the filling, and pinch the edges together to create a bun. Make sure the edges are sealed well.

Place the buns on the prepared baking tray, with the sealed side facing down.

Brush the buns generously with the remaining beaten egg and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
