- 400 g Kidney beans, cooked
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Cumin seeds

- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp Ginger, minced
- 2 medium Tomatoes, chopped

- 0.5 tsp Ground turmeric

- 0.5 tsp Chili powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Add cumin seeds and cook until they start to sizzle and release their aroma, about 1 minute.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until it turns golden brown, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
Stir in garlic and ginger, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they become soft and start releasing their juices, about 5 minutes.
Mix in ground coriander, turmeric, ground cumin, chili powder, and salt. Stir well to combine all spices with the tomato mixture.
Add the cooked kidney beans and water to the saucepan. Stir to combine everything.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.
Adjust the seasoning with more salt or chili powder as needed.
Turn off the heat and stir in the fresh cilantro and lemon juice just before serving for a fresh, tangy finish.
Serve hot with whole grain rice or whole wheat bread for a heart-healthy meal.
