Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds until they begin to crackle.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until they are translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another 2 minutes, or until fragrant.
Add the chopped tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes, or until they begin to soften.
Mix in the coriander powder, turmeric, garam masala, and red chili powder. Cook for 1 minute to let the spices bloom.
Add the cooked kidney beans to the pan and stir well to combine with the spices.
Pour in the coconut milk and water, and season with salt. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Allow the curry to simmer gently for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
