Add a little low calorie spray to the frying pan and allow it to come to heat. Add the onions and garlic, and allow to heat. Add the lid to the pot, and let steam until the onions and garlic are softened and slightly golden-brown.

Add the mixed beans, along with a splash of water. Mix thoroughly, add a lid, and return to the heat. Let the beans steam for 1-2 minutes.

Add in your seasonings. Add the powders first: cumin, coriander, salt, pepper, and dried chili. Mix thoroughly. Add in the lime juice, and mix again.

Mash gently several times into a ‘chunky paste’. This is the desired consistency.

Taste for seasoning, and serve immediately, while piping hot.

If you’re hoping to freeze this, then place the hot beans into an airtight container with the lid removed. Allow them to cool to room temperature completely before placing the lid on, and adding them to the freezer. They will keep for approximately three months if frozen.
