PREP TIME COOK TIME TOTAL TIME


5 minutes 26 minutes 31 minutes

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.

Add garlic and cook one minute.


Add tomatoes, reduce heat to medium and fry around five to six minutes, stirring often,
until tomatoes are soft and disintegrating.
Add the cayenne, cilantro, garam masala and turmeric. Mix well and fry one minute
more.
Add the drained rinsed beans and vegetable stock. Add salt to taste (I added ¼ tsp but it
will depend on how salty your vegetable stock is). Increase heat to high until simmering
lively and then reduce to medium to a simmer for twelve minutes until thickened to your
liking depending on how much sauce you like in your curries.
Add the coconut cream, half the cilantro leaves, and the kasuri methi, rubbing the kasuri
methi between your fingers to crumble it in. Mix well and sprinkle remaining cilantro
leaves on top to serve.

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.
