Curry has to be one of my favourite dishes to make!
I have been obsessing over tikka spices at the moment, and wanted to create a protein packed, yet flavourful meal that all my family would enjoy!
I chose to use black eyed beans for their yummy flavour and kidney beans for their amazing nutrient content!
Beans & rice when paired together make a complete protein!
''A complete protein (or whole protein) is a source of protein that contains an adequate proportion of all nine of the essential amino acids necessary for dietary needs.'' -Wiki

All of the flavours & textures go together like a dream to create a delicious, hearty curry which honestly tastes authentic.

Nice recipe! Can't wait to try it. Do you think using a slow cooker instead would work for this?
ReplyDeleteThankyou so much! I am glad you like the recipe, and I'm sure you'll LOVE it! As for the slow cooker, I've never used one, so I'm not sure but give it a go & let me know how you get on :) Happy cooking x
ReplyDeleteHi Holly, I totally agree with you on how plant based foods can be so yummy and have a high protein content. I cook red kidney beans quite often, I soak them overnight in water and use a pressure cooker, which cooks them very fast. Have a wonderful day.
