In this Easy Lima Bean Curry, frozen Lima beans are cooked in a creamy and deliciously spiced coconut cream sauce. This is a vegan curry that can be prepared in less than 30 minutes and served with rice or roti.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Frozen Lima beans
  • 1 Yellow onion
  • 4 cloves Garlic
  • 1 inch Ginger (approximately 2 tespoons)
  • 3 teaspoons Coriander
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon Turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cayenne (can be omitted for a mild curry)
  • 1 cup Coconut milk
  • 1 cup Crushed chopped tomatoes
  • 2 Tablespoons oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cilantro to garnish

Instructions

  • Peel and chop the onion, ginger, and garlic.
  • Add the oil to a large, heavy bottom pan and add the peel and chopped onion, ginger, and garlic and sauté about 7–10 minutes, stirring often.
  • Then add in the coriander, smoked paprika, turmeric, cayenne, coconut milk, chopped crushed tomatoes, and frozen Lima beans and stir well.
  • Cover the pan and let the ingredients simmer for about 10 minutes.
  • Turn the stove off, remove the pan from the heat and season the Lima bean curry with salt and pepper. Serve garnished with chopped cilantro.

Notes

  • Sauté the onion, ginger, and garlic for about 7–10 minutes in a large pan placed on a stovetop set to medium heat. I cook on a gas stove, but all stoves differ. While these ingredients sauté, make sure to stir them well so they do not burn.
  • After all the ingredients are in the pan, make sure to cover it with a lid, so the liquid does not evaporate.
  • If the curry is too thick for you, add a little water or vegetable stock to thin it out.
