For Stove top

  • Wash and boil beans without salt until really soft.
  • Allow to cool, then blend till smooth in a blender or food processor with the coconut milk.
  • Pass through a sieve to get it a little bit smoother and to get some chaff out.(If your blender didn't get it as smooth as you would like.)  You will need a spoon to help you while you sieve.
