Creamy Black Bean Curry - The Fiery Vegetarian
Ingredients
3 tablespoons plant-based spread
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 large onion, finely chopped
4 large garlic cloves, crushed
5 medium tomatoes (350 grams), seeded and finely chopped
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
½ tablespoon ground cilantro
½ teaspoon garam masala
½ teaspoon turmeric
3.5 cups cooked black beans (580g, roughly two cans)
2 - 2.5 cups vegetable stock (depending on how much sauce you want)
Salt to taste
4 tablespoons coconut cream
3 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves to serve, finely chopped (optional)
1.5 teaspoons kasuri methi (optional but recommended)
Instructions
Melt spread in pan on medium-high heat. Add cumin seeds.
When cumin seeds brown and crackle (after about two minutes), add the onion. Cook
around five minutes until onions are lightly browned.
Notes
Vegans can use any plant-based spread, vegan butter or dairy-free margarine. If you don't
have an issue with dairy or aren't vegan, you can use butter or ghee.
Once seeded and finely chopped, you should have about one and a quarter cups of chopped
tomatoes.
Two cups of vegetable stock will yield a drier gravy while two and a half will yield more
sauce. You can adjust the thickness of the gravy by reducing cooking time for more sauce,
increasing for a drier curry, adding more water to the finished curry etc.
Cilantro leaves are measured before chopping. So it should be roughly three tablespoons of
the leaves which are then finely chopped.
