This is a classic red kidney bean curry from North India

Ingredients:

250g dried red kidney beans
1 onion, very finely diced
2 garlic cloves, finely diced
3cm length of fresh ginger, peeled and grated
3 tbsp Rajmah curry blend

Method:

Wash and pick over the beans. Place in a large bowl, cover with plenty of water and set aside to soak over night.

The following day, drain the beans, place in a large pan, cover with plenty of water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pan and cook for about 90 minutes or until the beans are just tender. Drain the beans and set aside.

Heat the ghee in a pan, add the onion and garlic and fry for 5 minutes, or until tender. Now stir in the garlic and curry powder. Fry for 1 minute more, or until aromatic then stir in the cooked beans.

Add 250ml water, bring to a simmer, cover and cook for about 15 minutes, or until the beans are heated through and very tender and the sauce is thick.
