1. Saute onion in oil until the onions are translucent over medium heat.
2. Add the garlic and ginger but stick around! Don't cook the garlic too much, it will get bitter.
3. When the aroma of ginger and garlic are wonderfully fragrant, add the three cans of beans -- do not pour off the liquid first (if you do, the dish will become very dry very fast, and the beans may burn).
4. Add the rest of the ingredients. Bring the pot to a boil and then promptly turn down to a simmer for 5-10 minutes.
5. Add a dash of white or seasoned salt after cooking to taste.
* Garam Masala and Tamarind Paste can be found at most specialty stores. Make the effort to look for them -- it really brings flavorful authenticity to the meal. However, even if you can't find these spices, the meal will taste great without them.
