Instructions
- Place a large skillet, pot, or pan over medium heat and add the cooking oil.
- Once the oil is hot, add all the spices. Fry the spices for 30 seconds to a minute, allowing them to release their essential oils and infuse the cooking oil with their aroma.
- Add the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the pot. Sauté for about 2 minutes or until the onions become translucent and fragrant. Add the diced potatoes, ensuring they get a good coating of the oil and aromatics.
- Top with salt, pour in the tinned tomatoes and give everything a good stir.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the curry simmer for about 15 minutes or until the tomatoes break down and become tender. Stir from time to time.
- Add the butterbeans then stir, ensuring they are well combined with the curry base.
- Pour in the coconut milk, mixing well to combine. Let the curry simmer for a further 10 minutes, stirring from time to time, until everything is heated through and the flavors meld together. Taste and adjust the seasonings then remove from the heat.
- Once off the heat, garnish your butterbean curry with freshly chopped coriander. Serve with your choice of accompaniments – rice, homemade naan, or bread, and more.
Notes
- If you do not like heat on your food, you can also omit the chili powder and use a teaspoon of sweet paprika, instead.

- You can use dry butterbeans if you prefer, just make sure to soak them for 4-6 hours or overnight first, as this speeds up the cooking process. You can then boil them until tender before proceeding with the rest of the recipe steps.
