Instructions

Bring the Whole Beans to a Boil

In a sufuria, wash the two cups of beans to eliminate any dust or dirt.

•  Fill a large sufuria with water and place them in it.
•  Cover the entire sufuria with your preferred beans and cook for one to two hours, or until ready.

Preparing Beans in Coconut Milk Stew

1.  Fry onions in a skillet.
2.  Add the tomatoes and, while they’re cooking, push them with a cooking spoon to soften them up rapidly. Stir in the cardamom seedlings, curry powder, garlic, cinnamon, salt and Royco for one minute before adding the tomato paste and continue stirring again.
3.  Cook for 30 seconds after adding the beans.
4.  Stir the beans in coconut milk and sugar, then cover.

•  When the beans in coconut milk are ready to serve, the fluid should be at the same level as the beans.
