Let’s get cooking!

1. Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until it becomes translucent and fragrant.
2. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan, stirring for an additional minute. You’ll know it’s ready when your kitchen starts to smell like a spice market!
3. Sprinkle in the curry powder and ground cumin, stirring constantly to avoid burning the spices. Let them toast for about 30 seconds to release their full flavor.
4. Add the drained butter beans to the pan, followed by the coconut milk and diced tomatoes. Give everything a good stir to combine.
5. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and if you’re feeling adventurous, toss in a pinch of chili flakes for a bit of heat.
6. Let the mixture simmer gently for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Stir occasionally to ensure nothing sticks to the bottom of the pan.
7. Once the sauce has thickened to your liking, remove the pan from the heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
8. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving. Trust me, it adds a lovely pop of freshness that brightens up the dish!
