Mummy’s Fast & Easy

The curry series continue on Mummy’s Fast & Easy.
This time I’m sharing my black eyed bean curry I made the other day.
Black eyed beans are one of my favourite – apart from their health benefits, they’ve got sweet and nutty flavour you can’t resist.
They’re particularly good in soups, stews and curries.
This curry is really simple and budget friendly but tastes delicious – warm and earthy flavour – simply a bowl of pleasure.

Here’s what you need.

Tip: Why not make a bean curry, mixing different beans – like black eyed and canellini beans?:)
