Brimful of Asha on the 45

[cyrano]

So I made a vegetarian curry, in my continuing efforts to reduce the amount of flesh in my diet.
And I found that it was pretty unsatisfying in my mouth. But when I added a little fat, the spices grabbed onto that and did a little dance. So, my vegetable eating friends, with out rendering it from the beasts of the field, how do you get a little bit of fat in your food commonly?

Oils and beans would be my thought.

Are beans likely to bring fats to the mix? I had figured them for protein sources at least.

Yep. Different beans have different fat content, but garbanzos are the fattiest. Also, nuts.

In my cupboard I have 4 kinds of beans packed in water:
red kidneys: 1g fat per 1/2 cup serving
great northern: 0 g fat per 1/2 cup serving
black: 0.5 g fat per 1/2 cup serving
garbanzo: 2 g fat per 1/2 cup serving

OK, not as much as I thought, but still some, and particularly in the garbanzos.
