Indian Style Black Beans

2 medium onions, diced
3 cloves garlic
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp ground ginger
2 tomatoes, diced
1 tsp salt
1 tsp red pepper
3 cups black beans with water- use canned

Sautee the onions in the oil until they start to brown. Add the cumin, garlic, and ginger. Cook for 1-2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, salt, and pepper, and cook for another 3 minutes. Add the canned black beans (and their water). Simmer for 10 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Serve over rice or with naan or roti.
You can also add some MDH chaat masala- about 1/2 a teaspoon, and cut back on the salt.
