Make this with my previous aloo phujia recipe and it’s an amazing easy indian-inspired vegan dinner that makes even better leftovers. Coconut milk is very fatty, I’ve tried the lite coconut milk and it’s just as good. I even subbed half almond milk when I was low on coconut milk, still good but not quite as thick so a viable option if you want to reduce the saturated fat. Omit the cayenne if you don’t want it spicy.

Ingredients

  • 1 can coconut milk
  • 1 tsp. ginger powder
  • 1 tsp. minced garlic
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 2 tsp. ground turmeric
  • 1 tsp. ground cumin
  • 1 tsp. chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp. cayenne
  • 1 tbsp. curry paste
  • 2 cans black beans, drained and rinsed
  • handful of chopped fresh parsley or cilantro

Directions

  1. Stir the coconut milk, ginger, garlic, deep skillet over medium heat. Season with salt, turmeric, cayenne, cumin, chili powder, and curry paste. Bring to a simmer.
  2. Stir in black beans and simmer, stirring often, until about 1/3 of the liquid is evaporated and the sauce has thickened, about 20 minutes.
  3. Add parsley, stir and serve over rice!
