When it says “cook on high heat to reduce liquid,” what liquid would there be, if you’ve drained the kidney beans? I don’t see anything in the recipe that provides liquid.

Made this last night, easy to prepare, happened to have all the ingredients on hand except green onions. Actually tasted better today when I ate the leftovers for lunch! Will definitely make again.

Delish! It's super easy and healthy, making it a great week-night meal. I doubled the recipe (so we would have leftovers for lunches) and left out the oil to reduce the fat. I served it over red rice with a little plain yogurt and a side of asparagus. Thanks for posting, I'd make this again.

Very tasty. Quick and easy. I used 420 gram tin of four bean mix and replaced the chilli powder with a fresh red chilli. I kept the same quantities for the rest of the ingredients. I did not drain the beans. Served with rice.

This was tasty. I recommend adding yogurt to the dish itself. The flavors taste much more balanced with the addition of the creamy yogurt (I used plain whole milk yogurt). I suppose you could do the same with a little cream. I plan on making this again, but will try cooking the onions in ghee instead of oil.
