Ingredients
- 1 cup canary beans (cooked until tender. Soak overnight if possible if using dry beans. If using canned beans, use 2 14-oz cans after draining the brine)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 large onion (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon turmeric

- Add the paste to the onions and saute until the mixture is rather dry and does not smell raw, about 5 minutes.

- Simmer on low heat about 5 minutes.
- Add the coconut milk, jaggery and lemon juice and heat through.
- Turn off the heat and garnish with coriander leaves.
