VEGAN RAJMA MASALA
Ingredients
- 1 cup red kidney beans
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- 2 tomatoes chopped
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Fresh coriander leaves chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Rinse the kidney beans in a fine-mesh strainer and soak them in water for at least 4 hours or overnight. Drain the water and rinse the beans again.
- In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the kidney beans and reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and simmer for 30-40 minutes until the beans are soft and tender.
- In a separate skillet or frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and ginger and cook for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.
- Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric powder, cayenne pepper, and salt. Stir well and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the chopped tomatoes and cook for 5-6 minutes until they have softened and released their juices.
- Add the tomato mixture to the pot with the kidney beans. Stir well to combine.
- Cover the pot and simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes until the flavors have melded together and the rajma masala has thickened.
- Serve the Rajma Masala hot with rice or naan bread. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves, if desired.
