This one pot vegan bean curry is another easy recipe from My Anosmic Kitchen. It's all about super simple and maximum taste and this gluten free bean dish gives you exactly that.
Even though we now have all this time at home to cook up a storm there is also the concern about over cooking. With all the uncertainty with the corona virus that has suddenly bolted us into a state of panic, we need to be a lot more vigilant in the kitchen in terms of supplies and how long they can last. It is first a matter of affordability and then it becomes a matter of the supermarket shelves being empty. With this in mind it is best to not forget the staples and canned foods that have been somewhere in the back of the cupboard/pantry. Cooking one pot meals couldn't be easier!

One of the most underrated fiber enriched foods ever! So good for a healthy gut and beans are also known to reduce blood sugar levels among many other benefits.

HEALTH BENEFITS OF COOKING WITH CURRY POWDER
Besides the many health benefits to eating beans when you incorporate curry powder and spices into the beans during cooking, they become more than just tasty. Firstly when you cook with curry powder you increase the number of good bacteria in your body when you increase the good bacteria you are helping the body eliminate waste. The bodies good bacteria in turn prevents germs from causing diarrhea and gas.
Turmeric being the main spice in curry powders has an active compound called curcumin which not only aids in anti inflammatory but can help in prevention of a number of illness. Preventing spikes in blood sugar is one of them, hence my love of turmeric when creating this Italian Tomato Pancetta 5 Ingredients 30 Minute Recipe and this Carrot Chickpea Soup
