Kidney Beans (Rajma) in Yogurt Sauce
Ready In: 55 mins
Serves: 8
Ingredients
- 1⁄2 tablespoon oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 6 cardamom pods (green or white)
- 1 cup plain yogurt, blended
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 2 cups cooked kidney beans
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons sea salt
- 2 teaspoons garam masala
- 1⁄2 teaspoon cayenne
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
Directions
- Heat the oil in a medium-size saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cardamom pods, and stir-fry until the onion turns light brown around the edges, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Stir in the blended yogurt and continue to cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the watery liquid evaporates from the yogurt and leaves behind reddish-brown curd like pellets, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Sprinkle in the turmeric and incorporate it into the tart sauce. Add 2 cups water and the beans, salt, garam masala, and cayenne. Bring the curry to a boil. Then lower the heat to medium and gently boil the sauce, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until it has thickened, 10 to 15 minutes.
- When ready to serve, garnish.
- with a bunch of chopped fresh cilantro, and serve with some plain or Jeera Rice!
