This black-eyed peas curry tastes so good. And the best thing is: there are only a few uncomplicated steps to consider. The beans need to be cooked while the curry is prepared. For the curry sauce simply fry onion, garlic and ginger. Then add spices, tomatoes, and coconut milk. Then the boiled beans, some lime juice and, if you like, coriander. And rice as a side dish. Et voila. As you can see, it is really easy.

About the beans: I think you can also make this curry with all other kinds of legumes. For example with simple white beans, with beluga lentils, or with chickpeas. To be honest, I haven’t tried it yet, but I don’t know what speaks against it in terms of taste.

By the way: I think that my boyfriend is quite picky (many kisses, darling, in case you should ever read this). And he once told me that it was one of the best things I’ve cooked. Since then, I’d like to hear it every time, hihi.
