1 cupfull fat coconut milk

2 cupsveg broth

I used 2 cups of water and dissolved 1 veg bouillon cube in it

Instructions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until translucent. Add garlic, ginger, turmeric, cumin seeds and black pepper. Fry for about a minute until the spices and aromatics are fragrant. Stir through tomato paste and fry for another minute or so to develop some umami.

Step 2

Add veggie broth, coconut milk and butter beans and stir to combine. I didn’t find any additional salt necessary as my bouillon cube was salty enough, but this is the time to adjust the salt to your taste preference. Bring to a simmer and turn the heat to medium low. Simmer for 15 minutes to allow the starches from the beans to thicken the sauce.

Step 3

Remove from the heat and top with another swirl of coconut milk and some chopped cilantro. Serve with toasted bread or rice and enjoy!
