Rajma
Creamy red kidney beans in a spiced tomato-onion gravy
Why This Recipe Works
A North Indian staple, this dish relies on a deeply developed masala base for its complexity. If the base sauce is prepared in advance, these comforting beans come together in the same time it takes to steam a pot of basmati rice.
Instructions
Combine the kidney beans, tomato-onion masala, fenugreek leaves, and water in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook, partially covered, for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the gravy to thicken slightly.
Stir in the garam masala, amchur, black salt, salt, and ground red chili. Taste the gravy and adjust the salt and heat level to your preference.
Serve the beans hot, garnished with red onion, ginger matchsticks, and fresh cilantro.
