That curry with black beans, and white rice

That the beginning of class I was like "oh boy another curry whoopie". Like all the other curries we made in the class we got started we set up the saucepan with oil. I cut up the peppers, as everybody else had their vegetable to cut. afterwards we simply add all the ingredients in the saucepan, and we stared it and we had to wait for it to cook. For some reason Without knowing why, The curry took 3 times the amount of time it would take to cook. I would have to say that we where not patent about this, especially when we where hungry. In the end every one but me in my group were in no mood to eat the curry at all. I was the only one who had time time watch over it and eat it in my communications class. It wasnt my favorite dish, but it was still fine.
