QuikCurry™ Black Beans
QuikCurry™ Black Beans
Black beans are native to the Americas and popular in Latin American cuisine. Admittedly, I only had black beans after meeting my wife, who is a Mexican food aficionado, in my late 20s. So, even though they are not an intrinsic part of Indian cuisine, they are very compatible with curry spices.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp ghee (or your favorite oil - optional)
- 1/2 tsp cumin powder
- 1/4 tsp Himalayan pink salt (or a pinch of sea salt)
- 1 tbsp QuikCurry™ Tardka Paste
- 15 oz can of black beans (I prefer Natural Value brand)
Instructions
-
Open a can of black beans, preferably Organic.
-
Empty the can of black beans into a pot.
-
A 15 oz can will give you 2 servings.
-
-
Optionally, add ghee (or your choice of vegetable oil).
-
Stir in the cumin powder and salt mixing well.
-
Cover and bring to a boil in high heat to ensure the spices mix through the beans properly.
-
Serve with basmati rice.
Recipe Notes
This simple recipe makes quite delicious black beans. However, it may be accentuated by adding QuikCurry™ InstaGold Masala. You may also include 1/2 tsp of cumin powder for a touch of Mexican flavor. To add some heat during cold weather, try adding a pinch of chipotle, paprika or cayenne pepper.
