Rajma (Red Kidney Beans)

The best thing about this recipe, other than the depth of flavor, is how versatile it is! Don’t have kidney beans on hand? Try using black-eyed peas or garbanzo beans. Want to pack in a few more veggies? Add a bell pepper (red, green, or mixed) during step 3 and allow it to become tender before adding the beans.

Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
  • ¾ tsp. cumin seeds
  • ¼ tsp. ground turmeric
  • 2 tsp. ginger-garlic paste
  • 1 medium red onion, finely chopped
  • 3-5 tomatoes, finely chopped
  • 1½ tsp. Garam Masala
  • 1 tsp. ground cumin
  • 1 tsp. ground coriander
  • 1 (16 oz.) can red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • 1 cup water
  • 4-6 stems cilantro, chopped

Directions

  1. Place a pan on medium heat and add oil. Once hot, add cumin seeds and turmeric powder. Allow the cumin seeds to sputter.
  2. Add ginger-garlic paste and onions and fry until the aroma emits (2-3 minutes).
  3. Add tomatoes, garam masala, ground cumin, and ground coriander. Sauté until the onion-tomato mixture begins to leave the sides of the pan.
  4. Add kidney beans, salt, and water (add ½ to 1 cup depending upon the consistency desired). Allow the mixture to boil (4-5 minutes).
  5. Turn off the heat, transfer into a serving bowl, and garnish with chopped cilantro.

Serve with warm rice or any Indian bread (eg: chapathi or naan).
