Equipment for Making Lima Beans at Home

• Pan

Ingredients:

• 1 cup Frozen Lima beans
• 1 Yellow onion
• 4 Cloves Garlic
• 1 Inch Ginger (approximately 2 teaspoons)
• 3 tbsp Coriander
• 1 tbsp Smoked paprika
• 1⁄2 tbsp Turmeric
• 1⁄2 tbsp Cayenne (can be omitted for a mild curry)
• 1 cup Coconut milk
• 1 cup Crushed tomatoes (chopped)
• 2 tbsp Oil
• Salt (to taste)
• Pepper (to taste)
• Cilantro (for garnish)

Instructions:

• Peel and chop the onion, ginger, and garlic.
• Add the oil to a large, heavy bottom pan, then add the peel and chopped onion, ginger, and garlic. Sauté for 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.

Note:

• Place a large pan on the stovetop, set to medium heat, and sauté the onion, ginger, and garlic for about 7–10 minutes. Keep stirring these ingredients as they sauté to avoid burning.
• 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.
