Servings: persons

1 cup red kidney beans
1 small onion sliced
1 small piece of cinnamon bark
1 small bay leaf
1 teaspoon cumin powder
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon grated ginger
1/2 can diced tomatoes in their juices
1 teaspoon oil
salt to taste
cayenne or Indian red chilli powder to taste

1
Soak the beans in plenty of water for about 8 hours. Drain and rinse.
2
In a large pot or pressure-cooker, heat oil. Add cinnamon and bayleaf. When you smell their fragrance, add the onion.
3
Saute for a minute and then add the tomatoes.
4
Add the spice powders and mix well. Saute until the moisture has evaporated and the mixture looks brownish and shiny with oil.
5
Add the ginger, briskly stir for a few seconds.
6
Add enough water to cover the beans. Bring to a boil, season with salt to taste. Simmer or pressure-cook until the beans are soft (15-20 minutes in a pressure cooker, at least 45 minutes in a pot). When you press one between your thumb and fore-finger it should break up easily.
7
Serve with a grain of your choice. Meat-lovers, you can easily use this dish to take care of that left-over roast meat. Just cut into chunks and add when the beans are already cooked. Stir well and let sit for 5 minutes.
