Kidney Bean Curry (Rajmah)

Make sure you have basmati rice ready for your dish in the end!

Toast in a shallow pan in a bit of canola oil a small amount of coriander seeds and cumin seeds - this is optional and if you don't toast the seeds use olive oil to cook the meal.

When done toasting add to the pan: (everything small dice)
1 onion
1 1/2 small green chilis (or 1 large red or green)
4 cloves garlic
about 2 Tbsp chopped ginger

Let cook for a little while then add:
1 14 oz can kidney beans drained and rinsed
1 14 oz can plain tomato sauce (or pureed tomatoes will work!)

Grind together in a mortar and pestle:
coriander
cumin
cumin seeds
red chili flakes
turmeric - not too much!

Add to the pan 1 1/2 Tbsp of the ground spices to the pan
Let everything cook on med-high heat to thicken
Add 2 diced roma tomatoes
Cover and let cook until thick and saucy

Enjoy over rice topped with cilantro and green onion and a side of pita bread
You can use leftover homemade flat bread from the falafel recipe…delicious!
