Yield 3-4 people

Number Of Ingredients 11

Part I (5 minutes)
1 chopped white/yellow onion
1 Teaspoon turmeric
1/2 can tomato paste or 1 can diced tomatoes
Part II (5 minutes)
2 cans red kidney beans.
Part III (5 minutes)
2 Tablespoons Garam Masala
2 Tablespoons Cumin Powder (Roasted Cumin Powder preferred, but any is OK).
2 Tablespoons finely chopped fresh ginger
1/2 cup coarsley chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

Steps:

  • Part I (5minutes) 1. Set stove to high, and add in a small amount of olive oil, margarine or butter to a deep frying pan or pot. 2. Once oil is very hot, add in onions and stir. 3. Add turmeric and stir -- cook until onions are slightly caramalized. (Be careful as turmeric will stain your clothes and appliances.) 4. Add in tomato and bring to boil. Part II (5 minutes) 5. Add in kidney beans, stir and bring to boil (5 minutes). Then reduce to a low-medium heat. Part III (5minutes) I do this part while the kidney beans are cooking to save time. 6. Chop, then add in all of the ingredients listed in Part III above, stir and serve. It is important NOT to let either garam masala or ginger boil for a long time, or else it adds a bitter flavour -- hence these two ingredients are added last. This dish stores well in the fridge and freezes well -- it always tastes even better the next day once the spices have soaked in. Serve with hot, steamed rice (Basmati or any long grain rice) or with Pita bread. If serving with rice, I get the rice cooking before I start this recipe, so that it cooks while I prep and cook the beans -- like I said, no more than 15 minutes, from start to finish, including all chopping.
