Cooking Instructions

20 minutes
  1. 1

    Blend the onion, tomatoes, garlic, and ginger into a smooth mixture.

  2. 2

    Heat oil in a pan, add the onion tomato mixture and saute for two minutes on medium high.

  3. 3

    Next add turmeric powder, coriander powder, chili powder, and garam masala to the pan. Sauté the spices in medium low till the oil separates. I would say 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle some water so the spices get cooked properly and the rawness goes away. Drain the kidney beans and add them to the curry base. Add the salt, and the water and stir to mix well. Cover and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on medium low, stirring occasionally.

  4. 4

    Next, add the lemon juice, garnish with chopped cilantro, and enjoy with rice.

Tips

You can also soak regular kidney beans, overnight, and pressure cook the next day. One cup of dried kidney beans will do.
