This is a variation of an earlier recipe for curried kidney beans. I was rushed in the morning, and I just put everything in the crockpot before going to work.
Unbelievably, everyone loved this. We ate it for dinner with rice and tacos.
Ingredients
3 cups kidney beans
1 onion, chopped
1 can of diced tomatoes
1 tablespoon salt, or to taste
1 tablespoon ginger
2 tablespoons coriander
1 teaspoon cumin, paprika
1/2 teaspoon turmeric, pepper
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1-2 cloves of garlic, crushed
Water: 9 cups if using pressure cooker, to cover if using crockpot
Optional: Fresh cilantro right before serving adds a special gourmet touch.
Instructions
Sauté onions with spices and beans, until fragrant. Add tomatoes, with juice and water.
Stove top: bring to boil and let simmer until done. Add crushed garlic and adjust seasoning.
In pressure cooker: 24 minutes to pressure and then released the pressure quickly by running cold water over the lid when done.
As I shared, I was time challenged this morning. I did not have the time to sauté everything first. I placed all the ingredients into the crockpot and it cooked on low all day.
Here is my only picture:
Good thing I took it. I offered some to a visitor, who liked it so much, she requested to take some home. It’s now all gone.
An unexpected hit!
Enjoy!
Sounds amazing…should give it a try sometime

My reply didn’t work. I didn’t check your blog before making this. I basically took the spices from aloo mutar and adjusted them. I think I need to look this up.

I saw. Please post your version, if you can. I always feel that I am missing something as I don’t understand the subtleties of seasoning correctly. Your aloo mutar was a hit! Everyone is still talking about it!😃

Just now I checked kidney beans are not in my stock.When ever I will go to buy my grocery I will bring. If you are in hurry I can type recipe for you. In India we have 3-4 types of kidney beans available and all are different in tastes. Kidney beans tastes good with rice or missi roti.

Again, a passion of mine. On one hand, food is so personal and unique. On the other hand, so many things are cross cultural. I guess that’s why food is a bonding experience.

Taco Tuesday! Those beans look delicious. I love the spices you used, especially the turmeric. I could imagine these beans as a topping choice for “loaded” baked potatoes. Yum!

That could work too. I probably should have used more water, as they were a bit too thick for my taste. But, I think that everyone preferred them thicker in the end.

It’s basically them same. I just do not use all the spices you did because they aren’t readily available here. Then we often serve with fried plantain (kinda like a big banana) or drink with garri. Sometimes, when it’s almost done, I add a couple of yam cubes and fish before the spices, tomatoes. I do know if I am painting a clear picture. 🙂
