Black Eyed Beans Curry

For a bowl of rich and warm spices that make a flavourful and exciting meal, this Black Eyed Beans Curry is perfect. As with many of my recipes, this one is versatile and can be adapted to suit your preferences, so you can use the same recipe for any beans or pulses of your choice. So, if you fancy a curry but you’re short on time, this quick and easy Black Eyed Beans Curry is the perfect solution.

This curry is a great source of protein (provided by the black eyed beans) and is vegan, so everyone can enjoy this delicious meal. Made with a variety of rich spices, like turmeric powder, dhaana-jeeru (a cumin & coriander powder), garam masala and red chilli powder, this curry is packed with flavour. Here’s a tip: to get my curry tasting as fresh and delicious as possible without spending time chopping up ingredients, I used Mr Organic Italian Organic Chopped Tomatoes.
