Ingredients

• 400 grams (canned or pre-cooked) Kidney beans
• 2 medium-sized Potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Onion
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 inch piece Fresh ginger
• 2 medium-sized Tomatoes
• 1 medium-sized Green chili
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro (for garnish)
• 1 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Peel and cut the potatoes into small cubes. Set aside.

Step 2

Finely chop the onion, garlic, and ginger. Dice the tomatoes and green chili.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and allow them to splutter.

Step 4

Add the chopped onions and sauté until they are golden brown.

Step 5

Stir in the garlic and ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the diced tomatoes and green chili. Cook until the tomatoes are soft and the oil starts to separate from the mixture.

Step 7

Mix in coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Cook for a minute to toast the spices.

Step 8

Add the potato cubes, stirring to coat them with the spice mixture.

Step 9

Pour in the water and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let it simmer until potatoes are tender, about 10-15 minutes.

Step 10

Add the kidney beans, including some of the liquid if using canned beans. Stir to combine everything well.

Step 11

Simmer uncovered for another 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.

Step 12

Stir in the garam masala and adjust salt to taste.

Step 13

Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving hot.
