"You'll Need:

3 cups dry black beans 1 tablespoon ground cumin 1/2 teaspoon chili powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1/2 cup plain yogurt 1 tablespoon milk 1 pinch cayenne pepper

Procedures : Place black beans in a large pot with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer 1 hour, or until tender. In an electric blender or food processor, process black beans until smooth. Stir in cumin, chili powder, salt, and cilantro; blend. Roll the mixture into balls, allowing 3 tablespoons of mixture per ball. Place balls between sheets of wax paper and press down on the wax paper to form 1/8 inch thick rounds.
