Ingredients
  

  • 100 g black turtle beans soaked overnight or use from a can
  • 2 tablespoon sunflower oil
  • 1 tablespoon cumin seeds
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 inch cinnamon stick
  • 1 finely chopped onion
  • 1 tablespoon minced ginger
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 large tomato chopped
  • 2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 2 teaspoon coriander powder
  • 1 teaspoon chilli powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 220 ml water
  • 220 ml coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoon chopped coriander

Instructions
 

  • The night before you plan to cook, soak the black turtle beans in a bowl full of water. Skip the soaking if you are going to use canned beans.
  • Heat oil in a large pot. Add cumin seeds, bay leaves, cinnamon and sauté for about 30 seconds until aromatic.
  • Add chopped onions, minced ginger and garlic. Sauté until the raw smell of ginger and garlic disappears, and the onions turn a few shades darker.
  • Add chopped tomatoes and mix well. Cover with a lid and let the tomatoes cook till mushy.
  • Add the soaked or canned black turtle beans and mix well.
  • Add the turmeric, dried oregano, cumin powder, coriander powder, chilli powder and mix well.
  • Add the salt and water. Mix well and bring the pot to a boil. Then reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for about an hour. 
    You could use an instant pot instead of a regular pot to speed up the cooking. Follow the instructions and timing to cook beans in your instant pot.
  • Add the coconut milk. Mix well and cook for 5 to 8 minutes on a low flame.
  • Garnish with chopped coriander and enjoy with rice or flatbread of your choice.
