Recipe request

OK - I know I said I don't cook, but I'm keen to stimulate my tastebuds as part of this diet. I don't want to exist on "diet food" which is not only divorced from calories and fat but also from all flavour. I remember having an amazing black-eyed bean curry in a restaurant many years ago - full of earthy flavour and comforting on a cold day like today. Can anyone provide me with a good recipe for such a dish?

And here is (perhaps) the start of a series of appropriate quotations sought out to entertain or inspire you, my reader:
