Ingredients:

200g urad dal (black dal)
300g red beans (eg aduki beans)
250g onions, chopped
50g ginger, grated
100g tomatoes, chopped
50g green chillies, finely chopped
100g butter/ghee
5 garlic cloves

Method:

Combine the dal and red kidney beans in a bowl then cover with water and set aside to soak over night. The following day, drain the beans then place in a pan with lightly-salted water, bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer and cook until the dal is tender (about 90 minutes). Drain when done and set aside.

Melt the ghee in a pot and when hot add the onions, ginger and chillies. Stir fry for a few minutes then add the tomatoes. Continue frying until the onions begin to brown then add the boiled dal and red beans. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 6 minutes, or until heated through.

Serve hot with naan bread.
