I use whatever beans I have to hand for this recipe. Cooking time does not include soaking. If you have a pressure cooker it is a lot faster to cook the beans using this though.

Time 1h15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1/2 cup black-eyed peas
1/2 cup mung beans
1/2 cup lentils
2 plum tomatoes
1 tablespoon tomato puree
1 vegetarian beef stock cube
1 teaspoon garam masala
1 teaspoon cumin coriander powder
1/2-1 teaspoon chili powder
salt
water

Steps:

Soak the beans overnight.
Boil the beans in enough water, stock cube, diced tomatoes, puree and spices together for around 1 hour on medium heat until cooked. Towards the end the sauce will thicken up, make sure it doesn't dry up though by adding some water. Add enough water to produce a thick sauce to your own preference.
Taste before adding more salt or chili.

Tips:

Soak the beans overnight or for at least 4 hours before cooking. This will help to reduce the cooking time and make the beans more digestible.
Use a variety of beans in your chili. This will give the chili a more complex flavor and texture.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices and seasonings. Chili is a versatile dish that can be customized to your own taste.
If you like your chili spicy, add some chopped jalapeños or cayenne pepper. If you prefer a milder chili, omit the jalapeños and cayenne pepper.
Serve the chili with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include sour cream, shredded cheese, diced onions, and chopped cilantro.

Conclusion:

Spicy mixed bean chili is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover beans. Serve it with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
