- 4 cups Cassava(peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes)
- 1 large Onion(finely chopped)
- 4 cloves Garlic(minced)

👨🍳 Fremgangsmåde
- 1
Drain and rinse the soaked beans. In a large pot, heat the cooking oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in the chopped tomatoes, curry powder, turmeric, and chili powder (if using). Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down and form a paste-like consistency.
- 3
Add the drained beans, cassava pieces, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir well to combine with the tomato mixture.
- 4
Pour in enough water or vegetable broth to cover the beans and cassava. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until both the beans and cassava are tender. Stir occasionally and add more liquid if needed to prevent sticking.

Once tender, taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Let the stew rest for a few minutes before serving.
