Indian Kidney Beans Indian Kidney BeansNumber of Servings: 8
Ingredients
-
4 cups red kidney beans
1 cup raw onions, chopped
1 can crushed tomatoes
1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp pepper, red or cayenne
2 cups water
1 tbsp canola oil
Directions
Saute onions in oil until golden brown.
Add crushed tomatoes, cook for a few minutes.
Add kidney beans, water, salt, and pepper. Heat through. Serve alone or with basmati rice.
TIPS:
-Use canned kidney beans to make this quickly, be sure to rinse the beans before adding them.
-You can add as much or as little water to the pot depending on what consistency you like.
-You can also add garlic and or ginger to change up the flavors.
-If you REALLY want to change the flavor, buy MDH channa masala (in my opinion the best channa masala brand) or chat masala and add around 1/4 teaspoon to the dish.

This was so easy to make, and delicious! However, the sodium content is off the map. Perhaps 1 tbsp of salt was a mistake? I used cumin, and just a dash of salt, and it was fine. I also used a fresh tomato in the food processor (lower sodium than canned), and rinsed beans as suggested. Thanks! - 4/10/07

For additional protein, I soak soya chunks in warm water and add them to this recipe. They are delicious!! Potato lovers can add diced potato alongwith and let it cook until soft. I have tried this recipe with all kinds of variations and my husband just loves it. Goes good with any Indian bread too! - 9/19/08

OK...I tweaked this one a LOT, but it turned out FABULOUS...I added a nub of ginger, three cloves garlic, a whole red onion, and used 4 small fresh tomatoes instead of canned...and mixed it up at the end with whole wheat couscous w veg broth & dried pineapple boiled with the broth. Fresh parsley too - 10/15/11
