Ingredients
  

  • 1 Tbsp. cumin seeds
  • 1 Tbsp. black mustard seeds
  • 5 cloves garlic crushed
  • 2 Tbsp. freshly grated or minced ginger
  • 1 red chili or jalapeno sliced or finely chopped
  • 2 Tbsp. ground coriander
  • 1 tsp. turmeric
  • 1 tsp. cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 x 14 oz. 400g can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 x 14oz/400g of canned pinto beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 x 14 oz 400 ml can of coconut milk
  • 1/2 a bunch of fresh cilantro chopped

Instructions
 

  • Start with a heavy bottom medium pot. Heat that to medium and add 1 Tbsp. of cumin seeds and 1 Tbsp. of black mustard seeds. Toast the seeds for about 1 minute, stirring constantly. Don’t let them get too brown. Toast them just enough that they start to release their aromas.
  • Immediately add the garlic, ginger, and red chili. Saute for 30 seconds to allow the chili to soften.
  • Add 2 Tbsp. of coriander, 1 tsp. of turmeric, 1 tsp. of cayenne pepper, and 1 tsp. of salt. Just mix this around with your spoon and then add the tomatoes. If you need to break the tomato pieces up, use the back of a spoon against the side of the pot.
  • Allow the tomato mixture to cook for 5 minutes so the tomatoes can start to break down. Stir a few times to pick up any garlic or spices that are stuck to the bottom of the pan.
  • Finally, add the coconut milk, drained pinto beans chopped cilantro.
  • Allow it to simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Taste and add more lime juice or salt to taste.
  • Serve over rice if desired.
