Instructions

  • Heat a couple of tablespoons of water (see below note #1) in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced onions and sauté until they turn golden.
    Next, add diced tomatoes and cook until they soften and become mostly mushy, adding a splash of water if necessary to prevent sticking.
    1 medium Onion, 3 medium Tomatoes
  • Stir in crushed garlic and cook for about a minute before adding tomato paste, sugar, salt, and spices. Keep stirring for another minute, adding a little more water if needed to ensure no sticking occurs.
    4 cloves Garlic, 3 tablespoons Tomato paste, 1 teaspoon Sugar, 1 teaspoon Ground ginger, 1 teaspoon Ground cumin, 1 teaspoon Ground coriander, 1 teaspoon Garam masala, 1 teaspoon Ground Turmeric, 1 teaspoon Chili flakes, 2 teaspoon Salt
  • Now, add the black beans, chopped cilantro (fresh coriander), water, and coconut milk.
    Stir everything together, cover, and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
    Serve this creamy black bean curry warm over a bed of rice for a satisfying and hearty meal.
