kidney bean curry



Kidney Bean Curry (a la Smitten Kitchen)

1/3 c. extra virgin olive oil
¼ c. grated or chopped fresh ginger, or ½ tbs. or so dried
1 onion, diced
1 plum tomato, diced (I used a 10 oz. can of diced tomatoes with chilies)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 large green chili, minced (I used a red thai chili)
½ tsp. salt
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. ground coriander
½ tsp. ground cumin
½ tsp. turmeric
¼ tsp. cayenne
Pinch or two of ground cardamom
8 oz. can tomato sauce
3 15 oz. cans red kidney beans (2 drained, 1 undrained)
1 cup water
Chopped cilantro, for serving

Heat oil over medium heat.  Add ginger (if using fresh), onion, garlic, & chili, and cook for a minute or so.  Add the spices (including ginger, if using dried) and cook until fragrant, about one minute.  Stir in tomato sauce, cooking for 5 minutes.  Stir in beans, tomatoes, and water.  Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.  Serve over rice with cilantro (we put some Greek yogurt on top as well).
