Method

  1. Use fully cooked tinned kidney beans, rinsed and drained. Finely chop onion, garlic, ginger and chilli.
  2. Heat oil and sizzle cumin seeds for 20 seconds. Add onion and cook for 8 minutes, then garlic, ginger and chilli for 1 minute.
  3. Add tomatoes, ground coriander, turmeric and salt. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring until thick.
  4. Add beans and water, simmer for 15 minutes and mash a few beans to thicken. Finish with garam masala and fresh coriander.

This timing is for cooked beans only. Raw dried kidney beans require separate soaking and thorough boiling; do not substitute them directly.
