Instructions
Soak black-eyed beans overnight. Drain the water when ready to cook.
Pour oil into a saucepan and place over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, fry the onion, ginger and garlic until golden. Add the potato and soaked beans to the pan and fry for few minutes, stirring regularly, then add the cumin, ground coriander, chilli and salt. Once you smell the spicy aroma (1-2 minutes), add 1 litre (4 cups) boiling water and simmer until the potatoes and beans are tender.
Add bamboo shoots and simmer until warmed through. If using fresh bamboo shoots, simmer until tender. Garnish with coriander and serve.
