How to Prepare Creamy Indian Black Beans [Vegan]
- Place the black beans in plenty of water and soak for 2-3 hours or overnight. Drain and set aside.
- If your slow cooker has a sauté function, turn it on and add the olive oil. Alternatively, you can do this in a skillet over the stove.
- Add in the onions and cook for about five minutes, add in the ginger and the garlic, and sauté until the onions are soft and golden.
- Add in the cumin, coriander, salt, and red cayenne pepper and cook for a minute.
- Add in the tomatoes and cook for two more minutes. If using a skillet, move the mixture to the slow cooker. Once the tomatoes are soft and pulpy, add this mixture to the slow cooker, add in the black beans with 3 cups of water and cook on low for 4 hours.
- Remove the cover, stir in the fenugreek leaves, vegan sour cream, and cilantro and serve.
