Notes
- Always sort your dried beans to ensure they are free from stones and dirt.
- Soaking them for a few hours not only helps cooking them quickly but also aids digestion.
- The same recipe works with canned beans too. Replace one cup of dried beans with 30-32 oz (2 cans) of canned beans.
- The curry is great with roti or rice. It is also great as a meal prep recipe. Prepare and refrigerate up to 3 days. To serve heat in the microwave for a minute or 90 seconds. Plus, it is easy to freeze for months.
