Rajma

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.
