This curry is low in fat, speedy to make, healthy, delicious, and all happened in one-pot. Make a big batch and you’ll have the next day lunch sorted. Who doesn’t love it?
A Healthy and Nutritious Curry
Red kidney beans is rich in protein and fibre, low in calories, make it a perfect meat substitution. Pair it with sweet potatoes and spinach, which are also nutritious, and use tomato sauce instead of coconut milk to keep it low in fat.
One Pot and Lunch Box
Cook these fabulous vegetables all in one pressure cooker, meaning less utensils to clean. What’s more? Cook it in a big batch, then fridge it for next day lunch, or even freeze it for anytime you want to eat.
A Small Cooking Note
Since we pressure cooked the sweet potatoes, it became very soft after cooking. If you prefer some bites, I suggest cooking the sweet potatoes separately, then combine with the beans at last.
Kidney Beans and Sweet Potato Curry Recipe
Kidney beans and sweet potato is a perfect match for curry. This is a lazy way to cook but I love how healthy and delicious it is.
Ingredients
Serves 2
- 120 g dried kidney beans, soaked overnight
- 180 g sweet potatoes, cut into cubes
- 3 portions frozen spinach
- 2 tbsp ghee (or other vegetable oil)
- ½ onion, diced
- ½ thumb-size ginger, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- ground spices
- ½ tsp turmeric powder
- ½ tsp coriander powder
- 1 tsp garam masala
- 400 g tomato passata
- 200 ml water
- ¾ tsp salt
How to Make
- Warm the ghee in a pressure cooker over medium heat, fry the cumin seeds until fragrant, then add the onions and cook until it is translucent. Turn down the heat if it gets browned too quickly.
- Add ginger and garlic, cook for a further 3 minutes to release their aroma.
- Pour in the tomato passata and all the ground spices, cook for 5 minutes to let the excessive water from the tomato passata evaporate.
- Add the sweet potatoes, kidney beans, frozen spinach and water into the pressure cooker. Cook with high pressure for 10 minutes, then release pressure naturally. Mash some kidney beans to thicken the sauce if desired.
