Masala Beans Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Sauté the Aromatics

    Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter. Then add chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.

  2. 2

    Add Ginger, Garlic, and Chilies

    Stir in minced garlic, grated ginger, and slit green chili. Sauté for another minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Tomatoes and Spices

    Add diced tomatoes, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Cook until the tomatoes break down and the oil starts to separate from the mixture.

  4. 4

    Mix in the Beans

    Add canned kidney beans (drained and rinsed) to the pan. Stir well to combine everything.

  5. 5

    Simmer and Season

    Let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add garam masala towards the end and mix well.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat, garnish with chopped cilantro, and serve hot with rice or bread.
