Vegetarian Curried Kidney Beans

Source: previously posted by Dancer on another list

 

2 cups of dried kidney beans or canned kidney beans (40 oz.)

1/2 teaspoon turmeric

1/4 cup vegetable oil

2 teaspoon grated ginger

1 tsp crushed garlic

1 tablespoon salt

1 cup chopped onion, pureed or finely chopped

1/2 teaspoon garam masala

4 medium tomatoes, peeled and chopped or 15 oz. can tomato puree

 

Canned Beans: If you start with canned beans, rinse the beans in cold water

and set them aside in 4 cups of water.Dried Beans: If you start with the

dried kidney beans, wash the beans thoroughly and drain. Soak for 2-3 hours

if possible. If you are using a pressure cooker, add six cups of water to

the beans and cook for 30 minutes. Reduce heat to simmer after the first

whistle and cook until the second whistle. Remove from heat and let the

pressure subside on its own, without removing the weight for 5 minutes.

Remove weight, and open the pressure cooker. Set beans aside. Do not drain

the liquid. If you are not using a pressure cooker, bring the beans to boil

in 3 quarts of water. Boil for 10 minutes on high, then cover and simmer for

1 to 1.5 hours, until the beans are tender.

 

Continue Here: Heat the oil in a skillet and put in the cumin seeds, garlic

and ginger. Stir and fry until the garlic turns light brown. Add the onion

and saute for 6-7 minutes over a medium flame until the onions get lightly

brown. Add the tomatoes, turmeric and salt and saute for 2-3 minutes. Pour

contents of the skillet into a pot. Add beans and water. Simmer for 10-12

minutes until the liquid thickens, stirring occasionally. Add garam masala

and stir well.

 

Makes 6 servings.
