Add drained & rinsed beans to a medium bowl.
Heat a small skillet over medium high heat and saute oil and shallots together for 1-2 minutes.
Add spices and salt and continue to saute for another 30 seconds.
Add brown sugar and cook for another 30-45 seconds until sugar starts to melt and caramelize.
Remove from heat and add to the bowl with the beans.
Using a fork or a potato masher, mash beans and shallot mixture until coarsely combined.
Add in 2 tablespoons of the reserved liquid to help mash further and smooth out the beans (add more liquid if you want the beans creamier/smoother).
Mix in the chopped cilantro last and finish by seasoning with salt & pepper to taste (it may not need any depending on your taste).
