INSTRUCTIONS

For the Spiced Bean Curry:

1. In a large skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
2. Add the finely chopped onion to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the onion is soft and translucent.
3. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, ground turmeric, ground cinnamon, ground paprika, and cayenne pepper to the skillet. Stir well to coat the onions in the spices.
5. Add the drained and rinsed chickpeas and kidney beans to the skillet. Stir to combine with the onion and spice mixture.
6. Pour in the diced tomatoes (with their juices) and vegetable broth. Stir everything together.
7. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cover and let it simmer gently for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the curry thickens and flavors meld together.
8. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust spices if needed.
9. While the curry simmers, prepare the roasted potatoes.

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

3. Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside, flipping halfway through.
