Ingredients

  • 2 cans of white kidney beans (rinsed & washed)

  • 1.5-2 cups of water

  • 1 large bunch of kale chopped (or use frozen)

  • 2 medium tomatoes

  • 1 medium onion

  • 2 tbsp tomato paste

  • 1 jalapeno (remove seeds for less heat)

  • 3-4 cloves of garlic (minced)

  • 1 tsp freshly grated ginger

  • 1 tsp cumin powder

  • 1/2 tsp coriander powder

  • 1/2 tsp garam masala

  • 1 tsp Kashmiri chili powder

  • 1 tsp chili powder (+/- per tolerance)

  • salt per taste

  • 1/4 cup cilantro (optional)

Directions

  • Rinse your beans, keep aside. Chop and Sauté onions till they brown on a non-stick frying pan on a low/medium heat. While onions are sautéing chop rest of your ingredients and keep aside.
  • Poke sweet potato carefully with a fork and stick it in the microwave for 6 minutes to cook. (or use baked sweet potato).
  • Once onions have browned, add chopped tomatoes, ginger, garlic, jalapeno and let tomatoes cook till they soften. This may take up to 5-7 minutes. You may wish to add 1/4 cup of water to help tomatoes cook without sticking.
  • Once tomatoes soften, add your spices, add 1-2 tbsp of water and sauté for another 1 minute.
    Add your rinsed beans, water and let this come to a boil. Add salt per your taste.
  • Once beans start to boil, add chopped kale and mix. Let kale wilt, this may take 3-4 minutes. Turn off the heat, add chopped cilantro if you wish. Cut sweet potato in half and serve on top of your sweet potato with a side of a large salad and squeeze of lemon/lime juice.
