Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Kidney beans (canned, drained and rinsed)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 whole Onion (medium, finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (fresh, grated)
- 3 whole Garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 whole Tomatoes (large, pureed or blended to a smooth consistency)
- 1 whole Green bell pepper (diced)
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 0.5 cup Water
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or pan over medium heat.
Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds until fragrant.
Add the finely chopped onion to the pan and sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the grated ginger and minced garlic, and cook for an additional 1 minute until the raw smell disappears.
Add the pureed tomatoes to the pan. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes thicken and release oil.
Add the diced green bell pepper and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Add the coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, and salt. Mix well and cook for 2 minutes to allow the spices to integrate.
Add the drained and rinsed kidney beans along with the water. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
Cover the pan and let the mixture simmer on low heat for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Once cooked, uncover the pan and check for seasoning, adjusting salt if necessary.
Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve hot as a side dish or main course with a low-carb bread or salad.
