Indian Spicy Pinto Bean Curry (Rajma)

1. 1

   If you are using raw pinto beans, cook them in a pressure cooker or boil them until soft. Be sure to add 1 tsp salt whilst doing so.

2. 2

   In a food processor, add the onion, chilli, garlic, ginger and fresh coriander. Grind to a coarse paste

3. 3

   Heat the oil in a pan. Once hot, add the cumin seeds. When they begin to sizzle, add the grinded paste. Cook for about 5 minutes or until golden brown.

4. 4

   Now add all of the dry masalas and mix well. Cook for a further 2-3 minutes, stirring continuously.

5. 5

   Add the tomatoes and mix. Cook for 3-5 minutes. When you see the oil begin to separate from the masala, it is ready.

6. 6

   Add the cooked pinto beans to the masala and add half cup of water. Cook on high and let it come to a boil for about 5-7 minutes. Check for salt!

   Chow down with some basmati rice, garnish with coriander and you're good to go :)
