Spicy bean cakes with cilantro-yogurt sauce

These spicy bean cakes are a fun cross between bean patties and my mom’s pakoras. Their crisp exterior and warm, flavorful interior pair beautifully with a dollop of cooling cilantro-yogurt sauce.

Amazing beans

The ayocote beans and black ones have a tremendous flavor.

Delicious but "rocky"

Love eye of the goat beans and these did not disappoint on taste. Unfortunately, in just a 1 cup dried bean serving, there were two small pebbles. Since pebbles don't float, they did not get discarded in the rinse before cooking stage. Could have broken a tooth so I am going to have to pick through every bean in the future unless someone posts a clever way to find pebbles in beans. :)

Thank you so much for the feedback! We're so glad you enjoyed our Ojo de Cabra beans. We work hard to remove pebbles and any other agricultural debris, but at the end of the day we're consuming an agricultural product with touch points with the soil/earth so please do always sort through and rinse your (any) beans before cooking :)

Beautiful set

While I haven’t been able to try all the beans in the set yet, they are packaged beautifully and I love the freshness. What we have tried is top notch! Highly recommend to everyone.

My favorite so far

Wow, I’m not sure what to say about these. My husband tried them and the first comment was “what kind of beans are these, they are amazing”. Can’t wait to order again.

Absolutely Delicious!

These beans are so much better than any store bought variety that I’ve tried. They are fresh, the texture is wonderful and not mushy. Must try!
