Red Kidney Beans - Rajmah

I love this Indian recipe for kidney beans. It goes great with boiled white or brown rice. It can also be served as a hearty soup.

2 Cups Red Kidney Beans
Salt To taste
1 Pinch Turmeric Powder
1 Onion, chopped
5 Garlic cloves, chopped
1 inch Ginger, chopped (optional)
3 Tomatoes, chopped or canned tomatoes
1 tsp cumin powder or cumin seeds
1 tsp Red chili powder
1/2 tsp Garam masala or allspice
2 tbsp Oil
Cilantro (garnish)

Soak kidney beans overnight. Wash and pressure cook the beans. Keep aside. OR use canned kidney beans (way easier!)
Heat oil in a pan, add ginger, garlic, onions and tomatoes. Saute for a few. Add the kidney beans, salt, turmeric powder, red chili powder, cumin powder, garam masala and simmer for about 15 minutes. Garnish with cilantro before serving.
