Indian again tonight... but one of my homemade, sort of by a recipe but not quite ones...loads and loads of spices in this one, though not as many as some of my recipes... It's meant to be black-eyed beans with aubergine only I didn't have enough black-eyed beans and I don't have any aubergine. On the brighter side I have all the spices... so it is more of a red kidney bean & black-eyed bean mix with orange peppers and broccoli (which will go in just before serving).
Recipe.... 1tbsp cumin seeds, 1tbsp coriander seeds, 1tsp fennel seeds, 1/2 tsp fenugreek seeds, 1 cinnamon stick & 50g grated fresh coconut, all roasted til lightly brown, cooled and then ground in a coffee grinder (reserved solely for spices). then heat 1tbsp oil, when hot, add the 1/2 tsp black mustard seeds, 1/2 tsp yellow mustard seeds, 4 red dried chillies and a large pinch of asafoetida. When popping, add a handful of curry leaves, 1tbsp fresh grated ginger & 4 crushed cloves of garlic, cook for a few mins, add the chopped onions (2 onions) and cook til soft, add the (in theory aubergine but in this case) orange pepper diced and cook for a few more mins. Add the cooked black-eyed beans & cooked red kidney beans, the spice mix from above, 2 tins chopped tomatoes and enough water to cover. Simmer for around 15 mins, add the broccoli (in this case - not in the original recipe but I'm freelancing) and cook until broccoli is bright green. Add some chopped fresh coriander and season, then serve over rice (or you could serve of potatoes, pasta, or even (UK) chips - it works really well over chips!)...
